Get to know Andrew as we ask him a bit more.
What is your career highlight?
My greatest career highlight is that I am still in touch with many of my former colleagues and count many of them as friends.
When you are not “thriving” you are…
Learning Spanish “slowly” so that I’ll actually be able to converse with my neighbours in Spain.
My favourite band is…
I love rock and blues music. The first album I owned, which was given to me by my Dad, was Hotel California by the Eagles. I still sit and listen to in it’s entirety 40 odd years later even though the original “tape” gave out about 3 weeks after I got it!!!
What book would you recommend?
Who moved my cheese by Spencer Johnson.
I thrive when…
I travel and can experience both this historic and the new.
