I worked with Adam for several years and found him to be an extremely dedicated, honest and hard working person with exceptional writing and editing skills. He would ensure all projects were delivered at high quality and on time. I would highly recommend Adam to deliver any project he was assigned to.

Leisure Interests
I enjoy writing creatively and have won an award for playwriting. Recently, I helped to write, act in and edit a soap opera for a local radio station. In addition I write reviews for the website North West End.
A passion of mine is amateur dramatics and I have appeared in a number of plays, murder mystery productions and comedy improve performances. Other hobbies include playing the guitar, swimming and reading.
Locally, I acted as secretary and press officer of a charity that successfully campaigned to save an old library building in Levenshulme. It is now a thriving art and community centre for the community.
