Bio
Andrew McMenamin
Alastair was my manager for a year and a half while working for the Olympic Games. He was the driving force behind the 2000 Olympic Youth Camp, which is generally held to be one of the best ever. His easy charm and affable manner made him very popular within the organisation, and he was extremely well known. If people couldn't quite place the area of the Olympics in which I worked, mentioning Alastair's name never failed to bring the light of recognition into their eyes. This skill with people was complemented by a fierce dedication to the job, an impressive work ethic and an ability to combine seeing the big picture with excellent attention to detail. He believed in getting the job done and enjoying it too. I would be very happy to work with him again in the future.
