Through The Gap Partnership (TGP) over the last 15 years, Adrian has been supporting some the largest and most successful companies worldwide to build and execute their commercial relationship strategies. This can be from a developmental, advisory, and even hands-on execution perspective. His general approach is by enabling companies to be more successful by building a commercial excellence culture internally.

Overall, Adrian has more than 30 years' experience predominantly in senior commercial executive roles and is passionate about achieving the most value possible in all commercial relationships, not leaving any money on the table, and bringing that focus to his clients. Before TGP this was most evident in the Executive roles of Commercial and Sales Director at organisations such as Belron and Solera as well as working in Regional Government policy design for high growth business start-ups, to grow the national economy.

Adrian graduated from Durham University Business School with an MBA, specialising in Consulting and Negotiation, having originally graduated with a BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering from Oxford Brookes University. To explore the human behavioural aspects deeper, Adrian has qualified as a practitioner with the British Psychological Society. Today at The Gap Partnership, he has been evolving this previous behavioural work to sit at the intersection of science, AI and that behavioural mastery of negotiation. It’s where our TGP heritage meets what’s next.
