“Working with Andy for the last three years has been a pleasure. For his professionalism and delivery of excellent results, but also for his ability to bring new ideas to the table. Andy has helped Cornwall Air Ambulance reach new audiences in print and digital, as well as being a creative sounding board to bounce ideas around with. I look forward to working with Andy on future projects."

He is organised, creative, and somebody who gives back. A business relationship with Andy is a two-way relationship, and fruitful for both parties"

Summary

I am an extremely consultative, creative and driven person with a wide range of skills and the ability to deal with people at all levels. My most important skill is my commercial understanding around sales engines, marketing processes and finance operations. This acts to increase my performance in many areas across a business. Through my people management skills, I am able to motivate people to win, solve difficult and complex problems and create the right culture for success. Add my determination to succeed and you will find me a strong candidate for any commercially focused role or project.

I moved to Cornwall in December 2011 to find that elusive work life balance; I started again from scratch and 8 years later had created the county’s fastest growing media business with a turnover of 1.7million. Now led by its own CEO and Commercial Director, Leven Media no longer needed me– it hasn’t for a while; so for the last two years I have been enjoying acting as consultant to my own business whilst launching a not-for-profit community interest company to fulfil a personal passion and give something back – www.diveprojectcornwall.co.uk – it’s been amazing!

I guess the corona virus pandemic gave me the time to consider my future. What is very clear is that I like a challenge and as a result am re-joining the Liberti Group as West Country RD for Kiss the Fish to stimulate my brain, drive me to achieve something new and take on a focus of my core skills in a dynamic organisation – a role that will test all my abilities and provide me with a successful career end.

My extensive sales, marketing and media career across many sectors ensures I bring overall commercial reality, strategic decision making and whilst keeping a firm handle on client relationships.
