Bio
Atul Sharma, ACA
I worked with Andrew at TOTAL UK over a period of significant internal re-organisation. He was a pleasure to work with and demonstrated excellent knowledge in what was an extremely complex and challenging period. His insight and timely management of the quarterly / annual audits was crucial in keeping the internal change momentum on track. I welcome the opportunity to work with him again.
