Andrew Peters

Andrew began his career in retail purchasing and then moved into sales in the technology and telecommunications sectors. His drive and business acumen soon propelled him into senior leadership, where he has held both executive and non-executive board positions across a diverse range of organisations.

With a breadth of experience, from start-ups to multinational public companies, Andrew has played pivotal roles in management buy-ins and buy-outs, fundraising, acquisitions, company integrations, and much more. His commercial journey has equipped him with a robust, all-round business background, enabling him to quickly grasp market dynamics and make a positive, lasting impact – regardless of sector.

A strong relational leader, Andrew is recognised for his listening skills, open communication style, and ability to build high-performing teams. He believes that sector expertise, while valuable, is secondary to understanding business fundamentals and fostering a culture of collaboration and achievement. His approach centres on developing and implementing clear, simple strategies and processes that retain entrepreneurial spirit while delivering sustainable, long-term value.

Andrew is motivated by the opportunity to help build successful businesses, leveraging his commercial leadership and constructive challenging approach to support management teams in realising both their personal and professional ambitions. Over the years, he has cultivated a trusted and influential network, underpinned by enduring business relationships.

His commitment to community and leadership development is reflected as a founding member of the London First Partnership in Policing mentoring scheme, where he worked with senior Metropolitan Police Officers, and as a former member of Business in the Community’s Education Leadership Team.

Outside of work, Andrew enjoys quality time with his wife Stephanie, five children, and three grandchildren. He remains passionate about all sports, though these days he participates at a slightly more leisurely but still very competitive pace.
