Speaker

Audiences and formats

Are you a conference organiser?  Over 20+ years Andrew has spoken at a variety of public events to audiences from half a dozen to 400+, as well as on TV/ radio/ podcasts and the press.  He has facilitated panels discussions and workshops, as well as chairing boards.

He is used to talking to a variety of audiences (young/old – junior/ senior – specialist/ non-specialist) at different levels, adapting his style accordingly. He has worked in different countries speaking to audiences for whom English is not a first language.

His preference is for interactive workshop or “A conversation with…” formats, but he is also comfortable delivering lecture-style presentations.

  • Community participation and town centre regeneration – Drawing on hands-on experience in Community Visioning and town centre regeneration Andrew can explore with leaders in your organisation/ community how to draw on international best practice.
  • Sustainability, competition law and voluntary agreements – For many years Andrew led advocacy – under the banner of ‘The Cooperatition Incubator’ – for changes to competition law that would enable greater collaboration between businesses on issues of public benefit.  He continues to take an active interest in this area.
