Andrew joined Answers in 2005, having previously worked as a Purchasing Manager. His time is split between operations in Dorset, our Head Office in Surrey and clients in London. At 6' 5" he is probably our tallest Investigator, a distinct advantage when trying to keep tabs on someone in a crowd! In addition to general investigative and surveillance work, Andy has a specialist knowledge of antique and deactivated firearms and is an accomplished countryman. He also puts his experience of Purchasing to good use on behalf of clients who are finding something remiss in that area. |

" I always knew that I would like to do something ‘different’ for a career. I had previously been involved within Engineering and Purchasing jobs, feeling as if there was a little ‘excitement’ missing from my life, as well as the opportunity to meet new people and think on my feet. Working for Answers Investigation has changed all of that. I certainly wasn’t expecting all out action adventure within my new job, but jumping into a taxi in central London and commanding the driver to “follow that cab” for the first time certainly made me raise a smile!

"I have spent numerous hours on surveillance jobs, during one of which I was able to pose as a gardener while having a break from sitting in the car - I did a first class job on some hedge cutting and still managed to get the pictures that I needed! I really enjoy the fact that heading off to work in the morning (or afternoon - or evening - or night) you can NEVER be sure what the day may entail." |

"Although I often work in urban environments, and am very comfortable in cities, I have a particular interest in some of the problematic issues that can face industries in a rural environment - whether it is a matter of running down who is responsible for illegal flytipping (a major concern considering current environmental legislation) or tracking stolen antiquities. The theft of antique firearms, for example, can often be a tremendous personal loss to the owner even though the resale value is possibly small" |

Andy has initiated and taken responsibility for the company's anti-drink spiking programme, geared toward prevention and advisement for Universities, business parties and bars/nightclubs. With permission, a small team will attend events and operate a high or low profile service whereby guests may have drinks tested at any time, discreetly and without charge. In a crowded event, team members are easily identifiable, and can be approached at any time, or may operate pro-actively |
