I was deeply saddened to hear of Andy’s passing. Although I didn’t often get the chance to see him in person, with him being in our London office and myself in Manchester, whenever I did, it was always a pleasure. Andy was the epitome of professionalism, but also quick-witted, warm, and a genuine joy to interact with. He always made time for a chat, to share a story or an insight into his much-cherished family life and it was clear how proud he was of his girls.
Andy was a constant in many ways – dedicated, committed, and unfailingly supportive – yet he never failded to bring a sense of humour and individuality, whether through his sharp wit or his memorable choice of a floral shirt or velvet jacket at our work gatherings, which he wore with true panache. He will be greatly missed, both professionally and personally.
My heartfelt thoughts and deepest condolences are with Andy’s family at this very sad time.
