Adams Creative appoints Non-Executive Director, Chris Radford

Adams Creative, one of the South East’s largest and most innovative integrated marketing agencies, has appointed Chris Radford as a non-executive director.  Chris, who recently took up the role of managing director for Legal & General Retail Investments (LGRI), will work closely with Adams Creative managing director Mike Adams to further develop this fast growing agency.

Chris’s first involvement with the Adams team was several years ago when he appointed the agency to develop a website for his then employer Lambeth Building Society.  The outstanding results achieved by the agency’s New Media department and the professionalism with which the project was completed impressed Chris so much that he kept in touch.

"I have known Mike for a number of years and am really looking forward to working with him," commented Chris. "As managing director at LGRI I am working with an extremely large team. My role at Adams Creative will be completely different; non-executive directors are very important for growing businesses as they provide an external set of eyes and ideas. It’s a position that I am really looking forward to and one that has the full support of Legal & General."

Adams Creative has grown rapidly in the last two years. The company has extended both its New Media and Public Relations department, and now provides clients with a full range of marketing services. With its headquarters in Maidstone, and a satellite office in Hastings, Adams recently announced the launch of its third office – this time in Ashford.

"This is a really exciting time for Adams Creative," said Mike Adams. "We’ve won several large contracts recently including United Trust bank, Balfour Beatty and ING. Chris will bring a wealth of business development experience to the team, ensuring that we continue to grow."
