He started his career in 1978 as an indentured commercial Heating and Ventilation Apprentice Engineer with Haden Young Limited. After a five year apprenticeship he moved to Oakray Heating Limited as a Commercial Heating engineer in 1983 working on Planned Preventative Maintenance and repairs of mechanical heating plant for Local Authorities such as Enfield and Barnet. In 1996 he moved up into a Contract Managers position looking after various maintenance contracts. In 2001 he was made Operations Director of the company reporting to the MD. For many years he built up working relationships with his Clients offering them the best service available dealing swiftly with any issues arising. In 2015 the MD retired and the three remaining directors were given the opportunity to run the company which they did until the unfortunate death in April 2018 of their colleague Paul Ovenden who was the Financial Director. Andy and the other Director then took on all of Paul's duties between them until a new Financial Director was appointed in November 2018. Although a sad occasion, it meant that Andy was responsible for Accounts, Call Centre and other areas that he had not been involved with before until the new Financial Director was in position. He parted company with Oakray Limited in October 2020 to join TSG.
