#88 - Andrew Silver - Growing a business head and heart
Andrew talks to us about growing a business head and heart.
We talk about:
- How health, well-being and connections have become more important thanks to Covid.
- Working with those who have an inner purpose.
- And changing his dream from being a lumberjack to being a management consultant.
Andrew has extensive director and Board experience working with, and for, a number of SME’s over the last 30 years. With a law degree from Northumbria University and a post graduate in management from Sunderland University he has worked for companies such as Vaux plc, Virgin and Whitbread, amongst many others.
In 2005 he became Managing Director of a PE backed hotel venture where he was responsible for the delivery of an ambitious hotel growth plan and was part of the team that sold the business to Whitbread in 2007.
Moving back to the NE in 2011 he managed the restructure of a healthcare business as MD and then CEO. After 18 months as a business development consultant and a short period as Commercial director at Saddle Skedaddle Andrew set up 360 Growth Partners to support SMEs across the North East realise their business and personal vision.
Andrew is a mentor on the LEP mentoring programme, a member of the Northumbria University Business School advisory board and Chair of The Key, a NE youth charity.
