Adam Holloway

Adam Holloway is no ordinary person. His ability to do what most of us would consider plain crazy has provided the general public with unique views of issues that are peripheral to most daily lives. Living for 5 months on the streets of London to make “No Fixed Abode” showed what homeless life was like within our midst. Other World in Action programmes include “Escape from Bosnia”, “Down and Out in New York” and a string of others, one of which led to the conviction and jailing of one of the Brinks Matt robbers.

He has worked for The Sunday Times (covering the Northern Front) in the most recent Gulf War, reported for Panorama, and worked for ITN as a senior reporter for a number of years worldwide.

Cambridge educated, and with an MBA from Imperial College London, Adam even found time to complete a modest amount of service in Her Majesty’s Forces.

He lectures widely, has set up a number of business ventures, and is closely involved with a number of charities. He is currently the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Gravesham.
