ADRA was formed in 2019 by its managing director, J.Paul Burgess (BA Hons Law). Rather than go on about him please click here to download his CV.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

As can be seen, Paul has gained so much invaluable experience from his 40 year professional career to date. He reached the point where he realised that he could only play so much golf and people actually wanted to have him and his experience, and that of his associates, on their side in their business activities and decision making processes.<\/p>\n

It is this demand for his services and advice, following stepping down from full time employment, that led to the formation of ADRA (incidentally the name comes from his two children ADam and RAchel, who he is immensely proud of, and who are building great professional careers in New York\/ San Francisco (Adam) and Sydney (Rachel))<\/p>\n

Paul has been heavily involved in some of the North West leading development and regeneration schemes (Middlebrook in Bolton, Horwich Loco Works, Lowry in Salford Quays to name but a few).<\/p>\n

Other than his long main board experience, he has also latterly been COO of an emerging development company, incorporating a new construction division, and ensuring best practice and compliance, and laying the foundation for future strategic growth.<\/p>\n
