Professional biography
A capable, reassuring person you can rely on

Andrew brings professional experience in project coordination, property and estate operations, rural and equestrian environments, and high-level sports coaching. His approach is calm, observant and practical, with a strong emphasis on dignity, clear communication and following through.
His relevant professional training supports both sides of the service: safeguarding and dependable companionship, alongside informed oversight of homes, pools and rural property.
