As Chief Operations Officer of Foodbuy, Andy’s key focus is on connectivity with its largest client, Compass UK & Ireland, delivered through a dedicated commercial, client experience and central recipe/menu management team. Whether it be supporting the Compass sectors in responding to the inflation challenge, optimising the supply chain or helping to drive growth, the underlying purpose for Andy and the team is to find ways to make it easier, simpler and more effective for Foodbuy and Compass to collaborate and drive value.
Prior to joining Foodbuy, Andy spent five years leading the operations team within a Global Business Transformation programme across Compass Group. Additionally, he brings to Foodbuy extensive commercial, operational and strategic leadership experience having worked in a variety of roles in Compass, including as Business Director responsible for hot beverages across Compass UK, Operations Director in the Compass Healthcare sector and Marketing, Sales and Commercial Director of Selecta Group. He has also served as the Managing Director of a UK vending company and a coffee machine manufacturer.
Outside of work, Andy loves sports and can regularly be seen on the football pitch, squash court or out running. And now, with two grown-up daughters, there is also more time to travel.
