This business, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2017, grew to £1M in 12 months and achieved a turnover of £3M within 5 years.  Although Andrew had sold his shares in the business, 2019 was MaxTag’s final year as it became a victim of the high street crisis.

Whilst at Panasonic he was responsible for a global budget worth $1BN and assisted the winning of a number of high profile contracts totalling hundreds of millions of dollars.

Andrew has recently launched a Home-Business University to provide training and business ideas to entrepreneurs who have the desire to start a business of their own.
