STUART ADAM ELECTED CHAIRMAN
Stuart Adam, born in Blandford Forum, was unanimously elected as the new Chairman of the Society of Dorset Men at the Annual General Meeting. He succeeds his father, Roy Adam MBE, who was Chairman for 21 years until suffering a stroke earlier this year.
Deputy Chairman of the Society for the last three years, Stuart Adam was congratulated on his election by President Sir Anthony Jolliffe GBE DL DSc. He comments:
"I am delighted that Stuart Adam has agreed to follow his distinguished father as Chairman of the Society. He will bring years of experience to the appointment, having shadowed his father for many years. Not only will he bring experience, Stuart will also bring new ideas and new thinking, from which I am sure the Society will derive great benefit." Stuart Adam is a businessman involved in various businesses around Dorset and Somerset, ranging from retail to distribution. "As the new Chairman, it is my intention to build on the great success the Society has achieved over the last 21 years under the chairmanship of my father," comments Stuart Adam. "I would also like to see the Society supporting Dorset good causes in the future, thereby increasing its profile in the community."
