Having enjoyed successful repeat visits to SIHH and Basel, and, along with his colleagues, secured new agencies with a number of prestigious watch brands, he was promoted to the position of Watch Buyer for the Fraser Hart group.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a keen sportsman, who can often be found on Clapham Common being put through his paces by the instructors at British Military Fitness, or playing football or rugby, Adam is no stranger to goal-driven hard work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy greatest personal achievement of the past 12 months was most definitely finishing my first London Marathon, with a decent time of three hours and 40 minutes,\u201d he declares.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing had prepared me for how difficult it would be, and I certainly hit \u2018the wall\u2019 many times, but knowing I would be raising over\u20ac\u20ac8,000 for my charities was absolutely brilliant and got me over the finish line.
