Norfolk Network events

If there’s a single quality you need to be a successful entrepreneur, it’s the ability to take big, bold decisions. Adrian Melrose has that quality in spades. After 20 years as a chartered accountant in London, in 2007 he sold up and moved to Suffolk to launch a brand new career in the digital world.

Did it work? It did. His Inn Style travel-tech venture is powering ahead, and living in the countryside has enabled Adrian and his wife, Fiona, to set up a free-range pig-breeding business at Rosery Farm near Woodbridge. Oh, and as if that wasn’t enough, he’s also the co-founder of the Art for Cure charity, which raises money for breast cancer research.
