Adrian will be sorely missed by us all – his energy, dynamism and sense of humour made Adrian an unforgettable character, whether you worked with him at Transport Systems or more recently with Connected Places.  We all know how much he championed what we were doing as a Catapult and he has left a fantastic legacy.

Please feel free to leave your messages of condolence, and share stories that celebrate our wonderful colleague here.

Thank you

Adrian, You brought a rare understanding of our value and contributions that made us better, happier and more engaged, every day. You have left a huge hole in our team. I’ll miss meeting you in the coffee shop by DfT, and video calls with our dogs! We are so much less without you. Ruth …
