Small Changes BIG Results

Andrew's official working life started out in 1986 when he took on a fitter/turner apprenticeship at the Carter Holt Harvey Paper Mill in Mataura, Southland, New Zealand. As a child he grew up on a sheep farm in the deep south of New Zealand. Like many farmers sons, he was heavily involved in helping with farm work from an early age, from mustering stock, shifting electric fences, shearing, lambing, hay and silage making, working the land for winter crops, or working in his fathers' workshop maintaining and repairing machinery. From this experience a strong work ethic was instilled in him and continues to this day. He has built several businesses from nothing and has revitalized others. With the knowledge and experience he had gained over many years, he was presented the idea and opportunity to become a business coach to teach others what he had learnt. He has now been a highly successful business coach with a global client list, since 2005.
