Alex Adams BEng (Hons) MIET

Hi I'm a software engineer and web developer and through my business Juju Digital I help people with their online marketing.

When I'm not developing websites or internet marketing strategies I have a go at smallholding. In the past I've kept and raised chickens and rare breed pigs with my wife and daughters on our micro holding in Suffolk. We've reduced the livestock for a while now and currently have a colony of bees.

I am an avid reader and usually have about three or four books on the go at once. I read a lot of non-fiction about entrepreneurship, marketing, developing and social media but I also read biographies and fiction. Most evenings around about 7pm though I'm reading bedtime stories to my young daughters.

I love film and theatre as well and I've been actively involved in both in the past. I have tried my hand at writing, directing and performing. One of my proudest moments from my theatre work has to be when I produced a fringe event of short plays that included one that I had written. To see my own words brought to life on stage with an engaged audience was a real buzz.

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 same time as re-postioning itself as a marketing & design consultancy. In the Autumn of 2011 Juju Digital Ltd was incorporated.
