An experienced consultant who has worked in a variety of sectors, primarily but not exclusively in the engineering, manufacturing and supply chain industry. Within the manufacturing sector his experience is diverse, ranging from the production of construction materials to the bespoke manufacture of printing machinery and volume manufacture of heating, ventilation and air conditioning products.

Prior to working independently Andrew spent over five years with a consultancy firm primarily working with businesses to define their business requirements prior to them sourcing IT solutions. This process ensured that the best fit solution was acquired by the clients and that any additional works were highlighted and included within the implementation plan.

Andrew also assisted clients in the selection of professional services partners in the fields of infrastructure and systems development. In addition to providing this advice he has helped many clients by providing support and guidance in the implementation of their chosen solution. From this work Andrew has first-hand experience of working with many of the major ERP vendors including EPICOR, IFS, INFOR and Microsoft.

By bringing years of ERP project management experience into the implementation Andrew works with the client and the vendor to ensure that the whole project moves forward successfully.

In all environments Andrew is able to communicate well across all levels, from working with operators on the line, or administrators at their work stations through to discussing business objectives with Chairmen and Chief Executives.

Andrew’s background in manufacturing and engineering, together with his experience of process design, system selection, and implementation, leaves him ideally placed to understand the business and process improvement needs of clients, and to assess the capability of available systems in the context of the business environment.

The combination of his experience and strong communication skills means that Andrew is very effective when interviewing clients about their day to day business processes. This lends itself well to producing comprehensive requirements reports for the client.

Andrew’s awareness of the many ERP solutions available, and as a user of one in a manufacturing environment, means that he has a close understanding as to what our clients require from these solutions.
