Andrew started the company almost a decade ago, and has built a small but exceptional team of people each of whom are just as dedicated to the cause as the gaffer is truly leading from the front. “I feel that if you show a good example, staff are more likely to buy in to what you’re trying to achieve. I couldn’t sit back and just lead with directions; it’s just not how I work. I think it’s important to get in there and as involved as possible” says Andrew. “The whole team are fantastic at what they do and don’t really need to be told what to do as such.

I feel like more a part of the team than the boss at times and I think that’s the perfect situation for everyone.” Born in South Shields, Andrew is proudly the smiling, friendly face at the top of KP Simpson.
