A veteran Teessider, Andy joined ITV Tyne Tees in 1990 after working as a reporter and presenter, and later as Head of News at Radio Orwell in Suffolk.

He joined Tyne Tees as a presenter and reporter, regularly presenting the Northern Life southern opt-outs from the old Middlesborough studio, and was the ideal choice to take over from Jake Lynch on Network North, with his appointment seeing a markable change in the programme.

Andy remained as co-anchor of the southern programmes of Network North and later ITV Tyne Tees News.

In recent years Andy has also worked on a number of documentaries including The Railway Story, When We Were Kids and The Way We Were.
