Andy has grown up locally and has lived in Scalby for many years. Having studied Biology in Hull and then Law in London, he initially worked for the local authority for a number of years. He then went to work regionally for the NFU, initially as an environmental adviser, helping members across the north east and latterly becoming the county adviser for York east.
