Tony Adams - Founder

Job Titles:
  • Founder
Tony set up TA Design in 1993 and quickly built an impressive client list with a talented team. Tony started his career with Freemans, where his work included responsibility for advertising, direct mail as well as producing the very first specialogues seen in Britain. (We're pretty sure he came up with the name.) He may call it ‘colouring in' but the creative work of the company he founded continues to be at the cutting edge of the industry, applying the latest techniques and best practice. Although he's stepped back from the day-to-day, Tony remains passionate about the added value that exceptional catalogue design can bring to any business.
