I joined HB back at the start of 2015, and like any new job I was ‘all at sea’. Andy immediately proffered much needed and most welcome help and expert guidance. We used to meet up in Thomas More Square on Thursdays, grabbing a cuppa and an armchair then going through the project events of the week. Sometimes we would combine our catch-ups with a trip to ‘Mama Thai’s’ – a favorite lunch-spot of Andy’s. I always really looked forward to those lunches as I knew Andy would be on-form, radiating warmth, positivity, humor and great conversation. We would talk about anything and everything, and Andy was always insightful and lively, but mostly just such good company to be with! I dearly miss those times with Andy, but am glad to have some very happy memories of him at his wonderful best.
