Andrew is an accredited mediator and independent investigator with 22 years of experience as an employment and discrimination solicitor. His legal background provides valuable insight—his approach as a lawyer was always focused on helping clients resolve challenges with pragmatic, commercial solutions rather than pursuing legal arguments for their own sake.
Andrew has successfully mediated complex and sensitive disputes, including allegations of bullying, trust breakdowns, undermining colleagues, exclusionary behaviour, and lack of respect. He prioritises building strong relationships with those involved, earning their trust through his approachable and empathetic demeanour. Calm and determined, Andrew is skilled at defusing tense situations—occasionally with a touch of humour—and creating an environment where everyone feels heard. He quickly identifies the core issues at play, helping individuals articulate their goals and develop actionable resolutions.
As an independent investigator, Andrew has worked across the public and private sectors on cases involving racial or sexual harassment, bullying, unfair treatment, and breaches of confidentiality. His investigation reports are consistently praised for their clarity, thoroughness, and evidence-based impartiality.
Outside of work, Andrew enjoys sports (especially cricket and golf), traveling (having explored 70 countries and counting), wildlife conservation (he serves as a Trustee of a conservation charity), walking, and attempting to train his dog.
