Andrew is a committed and dedicated purchasing and supply expert with huge amounts of knowledge and experience to share. Keen to deliver a quality service, Andy's focus is always on delivering the very best for those around him.

Andrew’s ability to translate complex concepts into practical, actionable insights made the training sessions engaging and valuable for us at all levels of experience. His teaching style is dynamic, interactive, and inclusive, creating an environment where participants feel encouraged to ask questions, share experiences, and collaborate with their peers.

Louise is excellent, totally unflappable and thoroughly professional in her approach. She can successfully manage a group of customer P&Ls and add value at a strategic level. I would not hesitate to employ her in a full time or interim capacity

Andy is an incredibly professional individual, who has fantastic people skills and a great ability to establish relationships. During my time working with Andy, I found him to be a very astute businessman who has a great deal of commercial awareness. He also has an excellent understanding of product alignment. Most importantly Andy is a personable, confident, and driven individual who is very comfortable engaging with people. He would be a great addition to any business.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Andy for his outstanding lectures during my CISCM training. His depth of knowledge, engaging teaching style, and commitment to ensuring his students grasp complex concepts have been invaluable. Andy's passion for the subject matter shines through in every session, creating a positive and enriching learning experience.

Louise quickly integrated herself into the business and effectively managed a complex period of product development and commercial management to ensure we delivered to a high standard for our customer. We have now asked Louise to carry out some strategic planning work for the business where I am sure she will add great value to our business performance. I would not hesitate in recommending Louise as a solid and results-focused interim solution for any business.

Engaged Andy on a bespoke Procurement project which was time sensitive. Excellent time management, attention to detail, communication throughout and knowledge of the subject matter.

I engaged with Andy on a series of strategic projects with a procurement focus, Andy’s leadership on these strategic projects with a cross functional team was outstanding. After this point I continued to engage with Andy through Twisted Orange as he offered mentoring and coaching support to various members of our team, unilaterally this was very well received, and benefits were far reaching.

I have worked with Andy on a number of very positive procurement projects. These afforded Andy the opportunity to demonstrate his wealth of experience and knowledge, complimented with his professionalism and overall courtesy hugely contributed to the successful outcomes of these projects. 

Andy is a person of the highest integrity and works very hard. He is tremendously proactive and seeks out opportunities which have saved the organisation £millions. He builds strong relationships with colleagues and suppliers, has great technical skills. He is a first-class colleague and an asset to any business

Andy is the most pro-active and driven person I know in his field. Always keen to ensure that supplier and buyer work together in partnership, making sure that what is committed to is delivered. In a relatively short partnership, I feel as though I have been working with Andy for years, always willing to help and suggest new ideas and continually looking at new ways to drive business. A real breath of fresh air.

Andy is an outstanding, strategic Procurement leader. He is infectiously supportive and conscientious, which drives his teams to deliver tangible benefits to the business. Andy forges strong relationships at all levels of the business. He brings real strategic insight to the table, which together with his tenacious nature gains buy-in from the most challenging of stakeholders.

Andy was a key customer of Meridian that was both highly complex and challenging. Despite this Andy was always prepared to adopt a partnership approach to get the very best service and added value from us. He is a shrewd and commercially astute procurement professional who would prove to be a strong asset to any business.

Andy has been instrumental in helping myself and our business through the Help to Grow scheme and beyond. We have had some supply chain issues that we did not have the expertise to solve ourselves, but Andy has been able to come in and help us with those and provide solutions to the issues.

Andy is a very knowledgeable supply chain professional with a vast amount of experience in all aspects of negotiation, logistics, procurement, MRP/ERP, sourcing, and supply chain optimisation delivering value added solutions. He was always willing to challenge the status quo whilst endeavouring to deliver improvement and optimisation whilst developing his team to deliver results.

Andy and I have worked closely the past two years. One of the first things that stood out to me about Andy, is that he is seeking a win-win relationship with his business partners. Andy recognizes that a successful business relationship creates value for both organizations. He has a lot of drive and is not afraid to look at things from a different perspective. He challenges everyone around him to improve and change their way of thinking if that’s what it takes.
