01. about

Starting out on small-scale productions in the mid 90’s, Andrew worked his way up through the industry from driver / runner to presently site & senior site manager on some of the largest international concerts in South Africa from Post Malone to The Pixies, UB40 to Chance The Rapper and Travis Scott to the Cure along with Future in Mozambique, Toni Braxton & Babyface in Zimbabwe and J Cole in Nigeria.

Transitioning to major & special events in 2019 he headed up site logistics on the Diriyah Oasis, while also being the fixer delivering everything from a 50m high ferris wheel to a butterfly dome and a 21 man tech team to designing and manufacturing 3 kms of ornate stainless steel pedestrian barrier.

Moving into sports on the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, he now has 3 Championships League Finals, the Neom Beach Games and a SailGP under his belt and is currently working on the Abu Dhabi Open Masters Games 2026 as Cluster Overlay & Operations Manager.

Through this journey he has developed a wide skillset that takes in every single aspect of event production and management from transport & logistics to stage and site management, fit out and construction through to overlay, project and production management.

Andrew is an extremely diligent, high energy individual that accomplishes tasks with ease that others could deem impossible, works well with others or on his own, manages large teams of people efficiently, works the long hours when necessary and never shies away from tight schedules and deadlines. To this day he hasn’t come across a challenge or a problem on an event that he could not solve quickly and efficiently with ease.

I worked with Andrew on a mega project in KSA. I can’t define his role, as there was never a task too big or too small for him to take on. He is fastidious and an amazing problem solver. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring him on any project in the future. Not just a good person to know, but a great member of any team!

Al Bayt Stadium FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

Andrew is the quintessential Site Manager. Endlessly resourceful, inventive, creative, and a highly proactive chief of staff he is quick to assess, quantify, strategize, and deploy both personnel and equipment. Effusive, confident, and organised, he will make things happen that other people think are impossible, and when all else fails his sense of humour can bring everyone back down to earth with a smile.

Andrew is the most diligent site manager I have ever worked with! His work ethics and knowledge are impeccable & gets along with absolutely everyone on site and his presence is always felt when he’s on a big gig.
