Andy joined the Manchester office in September 2006 as an Inventor, after moving back to the North West from London.

For the previous eight years Andy has been working as a planner in media agencies, helping to make Howard from the Halifax famous, and keeping marketing directors away from lunches with Moby with thrilling data planning presentations!

Andy has worked in London and Sydney, as well as a brief spell picking sprouts in sub-zero temperatures in Wales.

He once swore that he would move back to the North West if Xfm launched in Manchester, and now fulfils that promise!
