He was an elected Board Director of the Business Continuity Institute before resigning in October 2006. Andy chaired the Survive Personnel SIG and serves on various committees and forums.

As an advocate that people are as important as technology and premises he promotes the personnel issues within the context of business continuity management. Active service in Northern Ireland, the Gulf War and Bosnia during 10 years as an Army Officer has provided some interesting experiences relating to contingency planning, crisis management and liaison with emergency services. His exposure to management issues in arduous environments gives him a credible view on stress, training and performance.
Commercial experience as a production manager at News International, business development manager at Survive, recruiter for Euro Search and Selection and managing director of Kingmaker has exposed him to the real business issues that win competitive advantage, improve business as usual processes and preserve enterprise integrity. He conducts career counselling and individual mentoring within the business continuity industry. He is currently a partner of Adtapt.
