Since then, Andrew entered the public sector and took a lead role in managing one of Wales' first cross sector funded schemes. He developed and delivered a multi-million pound regeneration project in Cardiff. The project included a state of the art health centre, residential apartment blocks and a shopping parade with a community space. Andrew also worked extensively on creating a delivery strategy for a housing association in Cardiff to deliver the WHQS programme.
