When Adam joined BDO, he was driven by a desire to create opportunities for others. He believes in the potential of people to achieve great things when given the right support. This belief has guided his career, and he finds it fulfilling to help others realise their potential wherever he can help.

A few years ago, Adam's life changed hugely when his son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. This diagnosis brought significant challenges, including managing blood sugar levels and frequent hospital visits. Initially, Adam and his family knew little about the condition, but through education and experience, he became passionate about raising awareness and supporting others facing similar challenges.

Through sharing his personal story across his networks and on BDO's internal platforms, he’s found what he does has had a significant impact on the people around him. Colleagues have approached him to express their gratitude, saying his openness gave them the courage to share their own health conditions and seek help, and with BDO’s commitment to helping each other succeed, they have found new ways to open conversations and improve theirs (and others’) lives.

Adam is a firm believer that small actions can lead to significant changes, both personally and professionally. As he says, working at BDO is about more than just a job title. Supporting each other, providing space to share and grow, and fostering a sense of connection are what matters to him, and to the wider team around him.
