Bio
Sophie Coombs
Andy has attended a number of our training sessions at Shropshire Chamber of Commerce. He was a great presence and was extremely knowledgeable about marketing and the ever-changing world of social media. He clearly knows his stuff yet is evidently keen to learn, with many of his questions and comments during our courses being valuable to other attendees too.
Darrell Taylor
Working with Andrew was a pleasure. Andrew provided his vision with clear expectations, and works as a calming team player to achieve the goal. A very pleasant and supportive individual, Andrew clearly has a strategic approach to his work, always executing the tactical elements with the 'bigger picture' in mind. I would recommend Andrew, and hope to work with him again in the future.
