I was very fortunate to be part of the team on Andy’s first project at Handelsbanken. It was a complicated implementation involving a third party supplied product running on multiple overseas servers and fully integrated with the UK core banking application. Andy took all of this in his stride and steered the project through to a very successful conclusion, on budget and on time. As a colleague remembered yesterday; most things we did involved the words “check that with Andy C first!!” I’m sure that my colleagues would all agree it was one of the best product implementations the UK bank has had. Management were so impressed with Andy they kept him on and he went on to implement several more key projects with the infrastructure and software development teams. He was always good fun to work with and I’m sure he will be sorely missed. My condolences to you all.
