His broad experience enables him to liase on every level between client and manufacturer. Andrew says "I enjoy solving problems and liasing, or more accurately interpreting, between the creative and production teams. Things get complicated when you are trying to understand the often conflicting requirements of the end user, the marketing team and the business objectives - and translate these into a viable, production solution".
