Today, ADR Group Holdings Ltd are proud to announce a landmark appointment for our businesses. Alexander Dickinson FCCA has joined the Group as our first Non-Executive Director!
This is a milestone moment for ADR. As the Group has grown — now spanning three operating businesses across Kent, Essex and Suffolk — so has our commitment to strong governance, financial discipline and independent oversight. Alex’s appointment formalises a relationship that has, in truth, been part of the ADR story from day one.
A partnership from the very beginning
Alex has been alongside ADR since before we formally began trading as a limited company. From our earliest days, he has provided the financial insight, governance and stewardship that helped shape ADR today. From a start-up consultancy into the structured, multi-company group we are today.
At every step of our journey — every new office, every new venture, every strategic decision — Alex has been there, challenging our thinking, strengthening our financial foundations and helping us build a business designed to last. His appointment as Non-Executive Director is the natural next chapter in a collaboration built on trust, honesty and shared standards.
A few words from our Founder, Lex Rouzee
“I have personally known Alex since before ADR. He has been by our side from day 1, supporting us every step of the way. He has been an amazing soundboard for me and for the business. I could not be more proud to announce this appointment, and I look forward to our new chapter together.”
About Alex
Alex is Managing Director of Dickinsons Accountancy, a respected practice based in Herne Bay, Kent, originally founded by his father. Under Alex’s stewardship, Dickinsons has gone from strength to strength, supporting businesses across the region with accountancy, tax and advisory services.

A few words from Alex.
“I remember when ADR was operating out of a small office in Discovery Park, and it’s been a privilege to watch it grow into the multi-company group it is today. Being around such a likeminded and driven team has levelled me up too — I always come away from meetings with the directors feeling charged up and ready to go, and that energy is the best ingredient for my own personal growth. Formalising this by becoming a Non-Executive Director feels like a natural step, and I’m genuinely excited to help ADR through its next chapter of growth. I would like to thank the directors for this opportunity.“
A Chartered Certified Accountant (FCCA), Alex brings deep expertise in financial accounting, tax planning and company governance. This is exactly the independent, experienced perspective a growing group needs at board level.
What this means for ADR
As Non-Executive Director, Alex will provide independent financial oversight, governance and strategic challenge across the ADR Group. His role will help ensure that as we continue to grow, we do so responsibly, with robust financial controls, clear accountability and the same high standards our clients expect from our engineering.
This appointment reflects our belief that great engineering businesses are built on great foundations. Please join us in Welcoming Our New Non-Executive Director, Alex Dickinson, to the ADR Group board!
