Andrew Finley

Andrew specialises in business growth strategy and investment readiness, utilising his skills and experience in sales, marketing and general management.

At the age of 26, Andrew was responsible for turning around a failing national business newspaper. It became a highly profitable, industry leading title and won the prestigious PPA award for editorial campaign of the year. He held management positions in the national press before being appointed Group Publisher at International Thomson Business Press and then Publishing Director of the Croydon Advertiser Group where he re-launched the flagship title, growing it into the largest selling regional weekly newspaper in the UK.

Setting up his own publishing company in 1992, he delivered successful projects for clients including Marks & Spencer, P&O Ferries, IPC Magazines and the Evening Standard. Most recently, Andrew led the development of two start-up companies, raising investment from both Venture Capitalists and Business Angels.
