Johannesburg, South Africa. During his 25 year tenure with that business Andrew’s career saw
growth and development in many aspects of general and, particularly, sales management. Because of
the specialist nature of the business, Andrew has established himself as an industry specialist and
acknowledged spokesman on the topics of Credit and Risk Management practices, particularly
pertaining to trade credit, credit insurance and SMME credit. He co-authored, edited and published
“The Company You Keep” in 2003 highlighting the role of credit management in corporate
governance best practice and is regularly called upon to present at conferences and seminars.
