Bio
Philip H 🇬🇧
It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Andrew. I had the pleasure of working with Andrew for two years at Glen Dimplex collaborating on several eCommerce marketing and NPI projects for AO World. No matter how tense a meeting, Andrew made sure everyone left with a smile. As a team member or a leader, Andrew earns my highest recommendation.

Andrew and I worked together for a couple of years and have kept in touch since. He is one of the few marketing professionals I have worked with whose marketing ideas have a solid practical application to the issues at hand . He was also very good at interacting with the sales force who at the time he joined had a "healthy" skepticism of " marketing professionals " . By the time Andrew left us , the sales team had completely revised their views . Andrew also dealt very well with the directors of the time diplomatically curbing some of their more esoteric ideas while convincing others of the need for a well balanced and longer term budget to support new product introduction and on-going business. After leaving Renold he has gone from strength to strength. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew for sales and marketing roles

May 2015 - Feb 2016
Pace and Passion is a commercial marketing consultancy anchored in pragmatism, yet not afraid to present original thoughts, whilst always keeping an eye on the bottom line. White label projects are our speciality. As with most businesses, inspiration was required to create a company name which reflected the essence of my credo. Pace and Passion have always been the watchwords by which I have undertaken challenges, with Pace, Passion, Perspiration, Professionalism and Integrity being far too long for a business card.
