Andrew started on the shop floor at Carphone Warehouse, he was one of the very first members of staff. He quickly worked his way up the company and was then recruited into DX Communications in Glasgow where he was a Director and Shareholder. Having grown the company to 300 retail outlets and having been rewarded with a 2nd place in the Sunday Times Fast Track listing in 1997, DX Communications was sold to BT Cellnet in 1999. The retail footprint makes up much of what you see as the O2 chain of mobile phone stores today. After a year’s sabbatical, Andrew was appointed Managing Director of Tiny computers at a challenging time for the business and oversaw the sale of its ISP business to Tiscali, and the eventual sale of the business to Time Computers. Andrew now felt he needed a new challenge away from traditional retail outlets focusing on the opportunity the internet offered. He set up the Flat TV Company in 2001 with a colleague Vince Tang, and by 2007 this had become the 7th Fastest Growing Company in the Sunday Times Fast Track listings. In 2008 Andrew returned to the Telecoms sector after discovering the Tooway offering from Skylogic. For the first time a consumer orientated satellite broadband solution had become available to help the many people living and working in the so-called “Not Spots”, those outside the terrestrial ADSL footprint.'
