Andrew has been an exceptional leader, demonstrating clear and proven management techniques. Not only empowering his team to use their initiative, whilst also providing high levels of autonomy. This has yielded excellent results for the team in achieving and exceeding targets. Andrew has always put customers first, and to that end will always go above and beyond to help meet and surpass their requirements even if at the outset they seem unachievable. This combined with strong technical skills and high levels of professionalism makes Andrew an asset for any business that is fortunate enough to have him in its arsenal. I have learned a great deal from Andrew during our time together and for that, I am truly grateful. It would give me great pleasure to recommend Andrew in the future.

I had the privilege of working with Andrew for 7 years at Airco and in our time together he trained, inspired and guided me in my daily duties. Not only does he balance hard work with a social aspect, he enables you to improve yourself, search for answers and guides you through different solutions while motivating you to be better. I found him to be very articulate, professional and great knowledge which he is willing to up-skill you with in business, sales and engineering. As a sales consultant he allows you to do it your own way but still keep within the structures he has created to monitor, manage and assist in outcomes. I am truly grateful for the time I worked with Andrew as he up-skilled to me to become a regional sales manager and national sales manager and I have taken a lot of his methods forward in my management and sales. If you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
