Andy was a true powerhouse of the events industry. Across a long and deeply respected career, he brought energy, integrity and an unwavering commitment to excellence to everything he did. His impact extended far beyond the projects he delivered, helping to raise standards across the industry as a whole.

Those who had the privilege of working alongside Andy will remember not only his formidable professionalism, experience and enthusiasm, but also his kindness and generosity of spirit. He gave his time freely, shared his knowledge openly and supported others without hesitation. His positivity and humour left a lasting impression on everyone around him.

Andy’s absence will be felt profoundly by our team, our partners and the wider events community whose careers and lives he touched, we are grateful for the legacy he leaves behind and for the many memories we were fortunate to share with him.

We invite you to take a moment to remember Andy with us. Please join us in extending our heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
