Adam is currently appointed inspecting architect to some 40 or so Churches in the Guildford Diocese and is also a member of the Guildford Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC) for the Care of Churches and Churchyards. This body advises the Chancellor as he makes decisions on granting Faculties for any changes within a church.

Adam has a practical background having worked at his father’s joinery company when he was younger which has stood him in good stead when dealing with projects on site. Outside of work Adam's interests are sailing, DIY (particularly woodworking), photography and spending time with his family.
