    Mo Brownridge - Senior Communications Manager at Pernod Ricard Global Travel Retail

  • Excellent presentation on the subtle art of successful delegation. Really helpful tools and tips, conveyed in an easy to understand and down to earth way, with plenty of great real life examples.

    John McCrossan - Senior Analyst - Scottish Government

  • Andrew delivered a hugely engaging and thought-provoking session. We received hugely positive feedback from both the men and women who attended the call, who found Andrew's talk incredibly insightful and took a lot of practical steps and resources away.

    Amy Lange - Communications Associate at Pepper Advantage UK

  • I can’t recommend Andrew highly enough. What stood out most was Andrew’s ability to handle such sensitive and complex issues with both clarity and compassion. His delivery was engaging and grounded in lived experience, which made the content resonate powerfully with the team.

  • Andrew's webinar on procrastination is one of the best I've seen. He has a presenting style which draws the viewer/listener in effortlessly.

He has a creative and positive communication style and always seems able to draw people into participating/engaging with the content, creating a space in which people feel empowered to get involved and share their thoughts and ideas.

    Matthew Hotten - Leadership and OD - West Midlands Employers

  • Andrew has delivered a number of keynote talks and workshops at BCU. The feedback we get, from staff, is fantastic every time. Their only criticism is that they would like more time with him. Andrew is our first port of call for his subject matters: if we still used phones for actual phone calls, he would be on speed dial!
