Andy’s career in the industry stretches back to 1990, commencing with Barclays Mercantile Business Finance where he worked in the vendor sales CV division. This was followed by a spell with LeasePlan UK where, as a commercial vehicle analyst, he helped to introduce a robust system-based function to enable the company to set commercial vehicle residual values for the company’s public sector subsidiary, Automotive Leasing. In this role he valued both light and heavy commercial vehicles up to 44 tonnes and implemented a series of specialist vehicle residual value matrices to allow values to be set on vehicles, such as refuse vehicles, gritters, gully emptiers, road sweepers, ambulances, PTS vehicles and welfare buses.

In 2002 Andy joined the commercial vehicle team at Glass’s, as a commercial vehicle editor. An internal promotion in 2016 saw Andy take up the helm of senior commercial vehicle editor, heading up the team and taking ownership of the output. Ensuring that strict deadlines were met so that customers received their data on time every month, his responsibilities widened and his remit now included writing the editorial content that accompanied the monthly guides and providing insight to the press when required. In 2017 Andy took the new title of chief commercial vehicle editor, coinciding with the Commercial Vehicle Guide moving to a ‘fully digital’ format. This meant that values were now created for every price listed model, doubling the number of vehicles valued.
