"Adrian is a great guy to work with – and to have working with you. He thinks (not everyone does!). He sees points and angles that others miss. He is tenacious – once he’s onto something he won’t let go. He’s always positive and cheerful – which makes everything easier, and fun. That’s why I have always enjoyed working with Adrian."
