Andy’s 25 year connection with live events started in publishing, where he ended up launching Total Production magazine for the live event production sector.

The inability to say no to a challenge led to a 17 year ‘secondment’ to the Production Services Association, consulting, pontificating, campaigning and occasionally begging on behalf of those backstage heroes that bring your shows to life.

Andy now has his hands on the wheel at Festival Insights and the UK Festival Awards (see you in Bristol in December), retaining a keen interest in how festivals deliver on the sector’s sustainability goals.
