Adam Thomas | CEO

Adam has been a member of the WPA since it’s inception in 2014. That year he represented Wales for the first time at the Home Nations in Glasgow. He has competed at several Home Nations, most notably in 2016 where the WPA officially hosted their first competition - securing the overall trophy in the process.

Adam made his return to the platform at the 2024 Winter Cup, making a clean sweep of the records in the classic 93kg class with it being his first year as a Masters lifter.

Adam has served on the committee in various roles since 2015 and took on the role of CEO on an interim basis in 2023 - he was voted to continue in that capacity at the 2024 AGM in April.

Outside of powerlifting, Adam has a background in mechanical engineering and now works in quality management and business compliance for a global manufacturing company, with responsibilities across EMEA. He brings his skills in risk management and continuous improvement to bear in his leadership of the WPA, and has a drive to improve the participation and standards for powerlifting in Wales.
