Doug has many talents, some of which include bad puns, a superior taste in music, playing music and a new found love for DIY.

Whether it’s a spreadsheet or a calculator Adam can normally be found in charge of one of these on a daily basis, Adam and his team love all things finance and are always happy to help colleagues, when he’s not using a pivot table at work he is probably holding a 7 iron on the golf course.

He sure knows his way around flow diagrams, logic plans, a good few ISO numbers, not to mention being adept at Agile, Waterfall and Prince2 methodologies. More importantly though, nothing means to Stephen than watching Everton FC beat Liverpool, which you would have thought he would celebrate with a toffee or two, but he prefers the odd Haribo…. sweet!
