As an experienced leader in a multi-brand organisation, Andy joins the Group with an exceptional track record in the education industry. Andy’s career spans UK and US private sector, private equity and owner-entrepreneur businesses with strong strands of growth strategy and transformation throughout.
Andy's role as Managing Director of KCS is to create, develop and execute business strategy, and deliver growth across a multi-brand platform consisting of defined commercial propositions for the education sector globally.
Of his new role Andy commented:
“The opportunity to continue with the aggressive growth strategy at KCS is an exciting challenge. Expanding our services for public and private sector organisations, with a focus on developing new technologies to adapt to our customer’s needs and preferences is my commitment to drive the business forward.
KCS is already established as a leading supplier of education and office supplies, with a team of people committed to delivering outstanding service. Having the opportunity to work with this dedicated team to support education providers and communities is a privilege and it’s also proved vital, as we continue to manage the impact of the pandemic.”
