Andy Winkett – Executive Consultant
Andy graduated from Leeds Poly in 1984 with a degree in Economics and Politics.  Most of his early career was in sales and marketing,  which included selling donuts on a French beach,  type writer ribbons to bored American secretaries in California and escorting coaches of screaming holidaymakers to Spain.  When the money and visa ran out it was time to get serious and he spent 5 years in London,  in the late 80’s,  close shave with a UK  ‘Wolf of Wall Street’  outfit.

Andy spent some time with a publishing company in Chelsea and moved back to the Midlands in 1992 to work in marketing.  Andy Joined Edge in 2002,  having been inspired by the opportunity to be part of a new business.  There have been a few ups and downs along the way,  but he takes great pride in playing a small part in changing people’s lives.
