While in the Site Director role at GSK Lincoln Andrew worked in an Operational Quality role. During that time I had the opportunity to interact with Andrew on a number of occasions and I always found him to be very respectful of others needs, very committed to his role and very honest and trustworthy. He also showed a strong attention to detail which was an important aspect of his role while also collaborating well with others. Andrew also showed a strong broad business understanding. I always found Andrew to very focused on continuous improvement, on what he could do to make a difference as well as also offering suggestions for other areas. He worked well as part of the broader quality team as well as interacting very well with other departments. He has very good communication skills and is comfortable interacting with stakeholders at all levels. Given the opportunity I would look forward to working with Andrew again. Regards Kevin Wright
