Andy Birks
A passionate and engaging leader with a strong managerial background at senior level in both local and international markets. A proven track record delivering double digit year on year growth for businesses across sectors including IT SaaS (software-as-a-service), commercial property, leisure and distribution. A strong strategic appreciation and vision for driving shareholder value, devising and implementing sophisticated business plans. My passion is to inspire teams to drive a culture of ambition. This includes digital, engagement, diversity and delivery of exceptional performances for both customers and stakeholders. Mine is a collaborative ethos with strong interpersonal skills to engage, motivate and encourage others through effective change management.
I am very honoured to have been a founding member of the Katie Piper Foundation; ever present from its formation thirteen years ago, through to becoming a leading charity for burns and scars. More recently, I was a Trustee of the Sheffield United Community Foundation, providing educational and vocational courses across the city region, supporting 12,000 participants annually.
