Andy is a degree-educated engineer, producer and composer who has worked at Abbey Road for the past 35 years. One of the world's foremost mastering and restoration engineers, he has won four Gramophone Awards and has two Grammy nominations to his name, as well as numerous other accolades.

Andy is a pioneer of digital restoration processes, using state-of-the-art technology like CEDAR (much of which he helped in the process of early development) on film scores, classical, jazz, spoken word audio and all genres of pop music.

He has applied his skills and knowledge to recordings from as early as 1897, through 78 records, LPs, tapes, CD, DVD, Blu-ray and Dolby Atmos, and with some of the greatest artists in the world including David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Page, Coldplay, U2, The Cure, Rush, Robbie Williams, Radiohead, The Who, Simple Minds and The Beatles. He has also engineered for many award-winning musicals including Love Never Dies for Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber as well as numerous Hollywood blockbusters including The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, V For Vendetta and the BAFTA-winning film Atonement, which received the Academy Award for Best Original Score.

Notably Andy transferred and restored the first (and thought lost) studio demo acetate recording of The Beatles' song Love Me Do, owned by Sir George Martin and later released for the first time on The Beatles Anthology box set.

In the classical world, he has worked with a litany of modern and past artists, including the world-famous cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, the world-class singer Maria Callas and in producing The EMI CLASSICS Centenary Box for which he was Grammy-nominated.

Andy is a world-leading expert in forensic restoration. He works with the British police, the UK government as well as business clients in recapturing audio for legal and private investigations. He gives expert lectures on the audio restoration processes to industry groups around the world notably in the USA, Hong Kong and across Europe.

He currently lives in Norfolk, UK, with his family where he runs a small sheep farm.

From 2025, Andy now works as a freelance engineer & consultant restoration expert for Abbey Road.
