Andrea Adams, broadcaster and journalist, was the first person to recognise the significance of workplace bullying, and her book entitled ‘Bullying at Work’ published by Virago in 1992, remains a landmark in this field. Andrea Adams helped many people address the issues of Bullying and Harassment in the Workplace and following her death in 1995 a charitable Trust was founded in her name to continue and build on the work she had started. The Andrea Adams Trust worked tirelessly for fifteen years to raise awareness of Workplace Bullying and Harassment though training, consultancy and by directly supporting targets through their national helpline.  The Trust also founded the acclaimed awareness campaign entitled National Ban Bullying at Work Day, held annually on the 7th November. The Trust closed in June 2009 but our work continued as The Andrea Adams Consultancy, offering all the same services as previously with the exception of the national helpline which could no longer be funded.
