Bio
Phil Davison
I have an enormous amount of time and respect for Andrew. His appetite for a story, ability to network and his willingness to go the extra mile and test himself without complaint resulted in me appointing him as a very young and relatively inexperienced editor of Professional Broking. Andrew helped me launch many new events and initiatives and never let me down. He is now also a very experienced and accomplished event host/chair and has commercial nous which can be invaluable in the B2b sector. I continued to work with Andrew as he became our launch editor for Insurance Post in Asia and it was a pleasure to see him establish himself as an authoritative voice within the claims space. Andrew is a very well-liked and highly credible 'name' within the insurance market in the UK and in Asia/Pac. and I'm sure he will be an asset to any business.

Andrew is a first class writer and editor to deal with - knowledgable, incisive, focused, principled, thorough and communicative. Strong networker, with enthusiasm in spades!
