When he was 12 the family moved to another farm in the beautiful village of Dedham, in Essex, which was made famous by the paintings of John Constable. Then they moved to Colchester and that’s where Adrian met Jean.

He then started his own company and was managing director until 2017 at which time he sold his business and retired early.
As a young man, Adrian was the bass player in a rock band. His retirement goal was to learn to play a 6 string electric guitar. He practices every day and has a weekly lesson.
