Bio
Charles Greenwood
Adrian is a professional business manager with a depth of knowledge in both sales and operational management, he is a team builder with great presence of mind and understanding of all aspects of the industry.
Paul Marks
I have been collaborating with Adrian for over 13 years now, since we both worked on the start-up of sheet extrusion capability in Port Elizabeth. Since those early days, Adrian has gone on to gain extensive operational and commercial experience as a business leader for Perspex SA. Adrian's professional development has been impressive in a period of significant challenges within the polymer industry. As well as having great leadership and management skills, endless energy and perseverance have been equally important to Adrian's success. Despite the distance between London and South Africa, we manage to meet with remarkable regularity and I hope to be able to continue our working relationship for many years to come.
