Andrew first came to Hong Kong in November 1989 as the first stop in his “Around the World Trip”. He is still in Hong Kong with no plans to leave. He hails from Scotland having studied biology at Edinburgh university and subsequently established, run and sold a delicatessen. Andrew believes travel is one of the most enlightening and beneficial things to do.

Over the last 30 plus years he has been involved in the business development side of publishing, e-commerce and education technologies. His leadership and strategic vision have been instrumental in driving success and fostering strong client relationships.

Andrew has had two significant personal events that have framed his life. One when he tragically lost his wife in 2003 leaving him to raise his two young sons and then in 2019 when he was diagnosed with throat cancer.

In the podcast Andrew shares in detail the story of his cancer diagnosis, subsequent treatments and his ongoing recovery. How adversity has given him a completely fresh perspective on life, relationships and what is truly important to him moving forward.
