Andrew has been working with BBC London 94.9 for a couple of years and is always a great addition to our output. He is very natural on air which puts callers at ease and his answers are always knowledgeable and informative. Andrew is also always happy to help at short notice and we have called upon him a number of times to comment on food based news stories. He’s always happy to help and always has plenty to say!
Andrew is a gifted content specialist who, as cliched as it sounds, can help you see the wood for the trees. We joked on the day that he was almost like a 'content therapist' - helping us to gain a valuable overview of our company's content from a helicopter perspective. He helped us to clarify, strengthen and maximise the impact of the content we produce and are yet to produce."
It was SO lovely having you here. You were fabulous with Sarah and totally made her relax and her performance flow beautifully – ending in rather scrummy food! Thank you so much. Your natural, calm manner, enthusiasm for people and food, and ability to ad lib and step in at any point made things work
