Our Past:
Our Present & Our Future:
Ubersounds was formed & based upon the career and experience of Managing Director, Rodney Adams.
After obtaining a BA Honours degree in Design, Rod went on to develop community, cultural & music projects in both
Sheffield & Leeds – whilst working for both Sheffield Hallam University and The Arts & Events Department of Leeds City
Council.
During this period, he also managed and contributed towards a number of club nights, concert events, festivals and
other projects in both cities, whilst continuing to provide Graphic Design services throughout. This led him to a role as
Events Manager at The University of Bradford, before leaving to focus upon the development of Ubersounds.
Upon forming Ubersounds, Rod wanted to further strengthen the range of services the business could provide and drew
in a trusted network of professionals to bolster the skills in each area (such as Ubersounds’ associate company,
Katt Designs and a range of other specialists).
So, with almost 10 years of experience in Events, Music, The Arts & Design... Here's a quick summary of the main
