Adam is an entrepreneur and Cambridge local who co-founded The Granta Academy in 2017. Upon graduating from Anglia Ruskin University and the Lord Ashcroft Business School, he transitioned into the Cambridge entrepreneurial space, eager to create. In 2013, he established Cambridge Alumni Tours, a highly successful walking tour company connecting University of Cambridge students and graduates with visitors eager to explore the town and University.

In 2017, Adam founded The Granta Academy in response to a repeatedly expressed desire from Cambridge Alumni Tours clients: visitors were keen to extend their time in Cambridge, and endeavour to glean a better understanding of the academic life therein. Working alongside Granta co-founder and University of Cambridge graduate Jessica Edwards, he engineered a program that actualized the experience that so many of his tour participants were craving. The Granta Academy quickly became known for its immersive experience and attention to detail.

Heading into its third year, the program continues to attract students from all over the world as an unparalleled opportunity to experience Oxbridge life, and prepare for the journey through tertiary education.
