He is a well-regarded leader with a proven track record in operational, financial and strategic oversight and execution in various blue-chip companies, including BUPA, Unilever and Cadbury Schweppes. As Mitie moves into the second phase of its transformation strategy (which is focused on accelerated value creation), Andrew's skills will be of immense value to the Group. I am very much looking forward to working with him as we drive the delivery of our transformation programme.'
Derek Mapp, Mitie Chairman said,
'I would like to welcome Andrew to the Mitie Board. Andrew's previous experience as a CEO and CFO in a range of blue-chip organisations, will bring complimentary skills to both the Mitie Board and our strong executive leadership team.'
