Almost three decades ago, Andy was working in investment banking in London. He knew that he wanted to come back to his hometown of Dundee, and to make real difference in the world. Just about the same time, his father Andi was considering his next venture, and so together they established Insights. They haven't looked back, and are extremely proud that their now-global business still has its roots in Scotland. Contributing to the local economy means everything to Andy, and he can't wait to see what the next 30 years will bring.
Andy is Chief Executive Officer of Insights Group, where he guides us to fulfil Insights purpose - to create a world where people truly understand themselves and others and are inspired to make a positive difference in everything they do.
