He left his position as Head of Practice for Purchasing & Supply Chain at Ajilon Executive in December 2004 to start the business with co-Director Simon Edbury.

When Andrew and Simon launched the business in January 2005 their aim was to provide a high quality, specialised service to those organisations and individuals they truly believe they can help through their experience, knowledge of the market and recruitment in general. They have already had significant success with clients both in the Purchasing and Construction sectors, where their reputation for excellent service delivery and the ability to find quality people continues to grow.

Andrew was educated at William Hulme’s Grammar School in Manchester before graduating from the University of Sheffield with an honours degree in Economics in 1993.
