He founded Hand Made Productions in 2004 in response to requests to share his knowledge and experience with businesses across the globe.
His wealth of experience and expertise is in high demand across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and East Asia.
Testimonials
Hand Made Productions works with major global companies through to small local charities. We provide the same bespoke service to all our clients.
I will be more than happy to have a conversation with a journalist now as have all the tools that Adam taught me.
Everything Adam covered was so useful and I will certainly be using all the hints and tips. Was lovely just having two of us in the session as had more time to focus on our areas of expertise and the questions that could be asked. A great experience.

I have worked with Adam for more than eight years, entrusting the training of senior managers and senior clinicians from acute, primary, commissioning and public health backgrounds into their
hands. Training is delivered with good humour but exacting standards, and feedback from delegates has been 100% positive, 100% of the time. We have reaped the benefits during the handling of complex, challenging issues with the media.
Simon
Head of Communications, NHS
I’d give it a 10/10 and recommend it to others. It’s great to have experienced and knowledgeable people enabling others to have practical training. I feel more confident about engaging with the media now than I did before the training.

Adam Kirtley is the first media trainer I go to to prepare clients for all manner of media messaging.
With his BBC Business background, he is able to prepare clients to answer all kinds of questions usually starting with the toughest so they gain some bullet proof skills! He’s fun to work with and always extremely professional
