Andrew qualified from the Royal Veterinary College University of London in 1988. He worked in mixed practice in Cornwall for four years before moving to the then named Glenleigh Veterinary Practice. Andrew became a partner in the practice in 1997. When the practice merged with Garston Veterinary Group, Andrew was able to devote all of his clinical time to small animal practice and has developed a strong interest in dermatology. Andrew is married with two children and a labrador called Tilly. In his spare time he enjoys running, cycling, and kayaking, as well as reading and going to the cinema.
