I was lucky to be a part of Andy’s team for about a year and this time gave me an excellent opportunity to grow and develop. As my Team Leader Andy always made sure to support me and help me develop and learn in my role. I am grateful for always pushing me out of my comfort zone which allowed me to gain new skills and overcome some of my fears. Andy was very helpful with providing all of the available resources for me to be successful in my role. Andy was always very attentive to my interests and gave me lots of opportunities to participate and lead team projects to develop my leadership skills. Andy is someone who always motivates me and inspires to move forward in my career.
I think it is very important to notice that Andy was able to motivate my team and help us to achieve the best results and top KPIs. We were always showing top results on the floor which helped most of us with future promotions and professional development.
Apart from great professional characteristics, I find Andy to be a very interesting person who is able share knowledge on many topics. He actively participates in social life of the team and is great at organising events that improve and strength relationships and keeps positive atmosphere within the team.

Andy is many things, and perhaps most of all he is 100% reliable, both in terms of character and competence. I have worked with him on several big training programmes over the last 5 years and am always impressed by his focus and enthusiasm right through the project until the very end. Staying power, integrity and an energy and light that people really connect with are just a few of Andy’s qualities and I highly recommend anyone to work with him.

During my time here in Vodafone I have been trained by Andy in part or in full for customer care roles in pay as you go, billpay, online moderation and data support. Andy was an excellent trainer who always acted with inspiring enthusiasm, demonstrating a thorough and constantly evolving level of knowledge of mobile products and services that many in the industry would be hard pressed to attain. He conveyed all of this through innovative, engaging training methods and group exercises holding the attention of the training group and ensuring that each member benefited as much as possible from the experience. Andy is a genuine fellow who knows his training role and the telecommunications industry extremely well and these qualities shine through in his training courses.
