Alex Adams BEng (Hons) MIET

My professional experience comprises over 11 years of engineering and five years of project and business development management.

My engineering experience is gained from employment as a software and systems engineer in communications, digital audio and the defence industry.

My management experience is gained as a project manager in the defence industry and as a production manager in the theatre and film industry amd latterly running my own business, Juju digital.

I have been responsible for the development and delivery of new product, midlife technical upgrades, the organisation and delivery of technical demonstrations and the production of theatre and film projects.

I have been working with web technologies off and on since 1999 and in 2007 started running my own web design, development and management business, Juju Digital. This business started life as Juju Web Solutions and in the summer of 2011 I took voluntary redundancy from my full-time emloyer of 10 years to concentrate fully on a more complete service and the business went through a re-branding excercise at the sametime as re-postioning itself in the market place as a marketing & design consultancy. In the Autumn of 2011 Juju Digital Ltd was incorporated.

In my business roles, I am also the technical director for Closer to home, a start-up company specialising in online property advertising.
