Andrew Crawford Email and Phone Number

I am an experienced director with an enviable track record. I played a key and integral part in the profitable growth and development of New England Seafood from startup in 1991 to a £200m turnover today. This growth has been achieved while consistently producing profits and positive cash flow. I have been instrumental in driving Gross margin improvement. I have had considerable experience with three major retailers (Sainsbury, M&S, Tesco, Asda and Waitrose) ensuring favorable trade terms and reducing rebate charges. My role has evolved as the company has grown. I have developed systems to ensure efficiency. I have proven management skills having introduced people where required along with appropriate development to bring the best out of them. I am a change instigator and have had to turn my hand to many tasks across all functions. Lately my focus has been in finance, systems and grant funding.Specialties: FMCG Retail exposure.
