I have had the pleasure of working with Andrew in my past role as Talent Acquisition Mananger and in my current role as MBA Careers Adviser. Andrew has a terrific combination of experience/knowledge along with top notch interpersonal skills that make him a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for an outstanding link between Higher Education and industry, please look no further than Andrew. Andrew utilises his vast network well and balances student, university, and company needs like no one I have met previously. I highly recommend Andrew and look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.

Having worked closely with Andrew for 3 years now, I find him to provide an invaluable link between the University of Birmingham and Industry. He continuously strives to find the right balance of value add for both Students and Businesses within the UK and Abroad having helped source MBA students for some high value Clients. I would highly recommend him for his Commercial Enterprise, Customer Focus and Management Capabilities.
