I worked with Andy at Barclaycard in the early 2000s – he was smart, funny, articulate, supportive, authentic, and a man of integrity – he was definitely a rare breed! I had the pleasure of working with him but also learning shed loads from him both professionally and personally.

Our relationship then moved from colleague to friend which I will be forever grateful for. There have been numerous dinner and events that we’ve been to at The Crofts’ including many Birthday (Sue’s)/Christmas parties, Burns Night Supper and Pizza parties in the garden with the infamous homemade Pizza oven! We’ve also enjoyed nights out in Northampton – including the Balti place along the Wellingborough Road, and seeing Gary Numan at The Roadmender.

We will dearly miss Andy, but am privileged to have had him in our lives and will treasure some very happy memories of him – he was The Best.
