Simon has over 15 years experience working in the marketing and communications industry with a number of organisations, across a variety of disciplines. Firstly being a marketer and secondly recruiting them. Prior to co-founding Adam in 2006, Simon held the position of Regional Manager for a multinational marketing recruiter.

Lorna was always a rather confused child with ambitions of becoming a train driver and a football manager amongst other vocations until she finally found her calling in November 2000 as a Recruiter in London. Her career has spanned across all Marketing disciplines as a specialist from mid level to Executive Search.  

Focusing upon the Professional Services sector, Lorna's successful recruitment career has balanced the highs and lows of being a life long Manchester City fan. She spends most of her spare time entertaining her demanding daughter Gigi, along with her interests in cooking, wine tasting and foreign travel.

Gareth is a senior consultant at Adam and has been with the business since February 2007. Gareth has over 8 years recruitment experience covering the industrial/B2B and services markets throughout the UK. Prior to recruitment, Gareth's earlier career was spent in sales and marketing roles within the sports manufacturing and business services arena.

Away from the office, Gareth is married and he and his wife have a young daughter. When not ferrying his daughter between ballet and swimming, Gareth plays 1st XV rugby for Didsbury Toc H RFC and also enjoys being a 'fair weather' golfer.

Unsure of a career direction, Lauren tried her hand at a variety of careers including nightclub management and dance teaching before finding her niche in creative recruitment. Covering the creative agency market, Lauren prides herself in developing long term relationships with clients and candidates alike. Being the polar opposite to a shrinking violet and warmly approachable makes this a very attractive and enjoyable task for her. You'll regularly find Lauren attending industry related awards dinners and networking events, using every avenue possible to spark relationships at all ends of the spectrum (not just as an excuse to socialise - honest!)

Having a history of showmanship from many angles, you'll often find Lauren 'jamming' with friends - singing renditions of songs by her idols such as Aerosmith and on a rare occasion, in a live performance situation. She also gets giddy over Eddie Izzard, following Formula 1 and her gorgeous little cat.
