AUDASI - Key Persons
Adrian's mission is to head up developing businesses where individuals have good ethics and ideas but just need a little support, re-working and coaching.
On leaving school Adrian became an apprentice joiner at York's Railway Carriage works. His life changing moment came at the age of 21 when he and 2,500 other employees were told that the works were closing down, rendering them all unemployed, "The feeling was empty, lonely and desperate" Adrian recalled, and I vowed to try and make a difference.
Since then Adrian wanted to effect his own future, and as many other as he could, he became self employed and began learning about business, which has remained to this day both his hobby and passion.
Adrian has since gone on to help build many businesses from scratch and also presided over countless turnaround strategies, acquisitions and disposals throughout the UK but also with experience in Spain, Germany, Sweden and USA.
Audrey brings organisational stability to the group with her detailed and methodological attention to detail.
