Adrian Taylor

Off the clock

Outside of work, Adrian, or Ade to most people, is someone who likes to keep life fairly relaxed, but never too quiet. He is a big cricket fan and loves watching the game whenever he gets the chance. He also still enjoys a bit of playing catch and proudly stands by the fact that he has not dropped one since 2003. Whether that record is ever properly challenged is another matter. More recently, Ade has taken up Padel and has quickly got into it. It gives him the mix of competition, movement and social side that suits him well, and it fits with his general preference for keeping active. Away from sport, Ade also has a creative side. He enjoys drawing and has previously turned some of his own designs into printed T -shirts, which he went on to sell. It is something he has always enjoyed as a way of switching off. People generally describe Ade as relaxed, easy going and good company. He enjoys a laugh, does not take himself too seriously and is usually happiest when there is a bit of sport, creativity or friendly competition involved.
