Andy was one of those people who walks into your life and makes a huge impact. Over the last twenty years he became both a professional and personal friend. Professionally we worked together as Head and Chair of Governors at Boothville Primary School. I believe that our skills and talents complemented each other and that’s what is needed at the top. Andy’s commitment, his financial expertise and ability to problem solve with a cool approach were such admirable qualities. The hours he gave to this voluntary role were regularly given before he started his day job. An absolute champion.
As a personal friend there was always a warm welcome, a glass of wine and excellent food. The convivial times we shared were made even better with the variety and depth of conversation and, of course, his sense of humour.Andy truly loved his family and his life.
So much to admire, so much to miss. So many memorable experiences given and so many received. Creative, colourful and with a brand all of his own. Andy never failed to surprise, inspire, influence and challenge with feet firmly planted on the ground. He most certainly left his mark. I am so grateful to have known Andy.
