Entrepreneur, business consultant, marketing expert

Andrew Scott is an Irish-born entrepreneur, business consultant and marketing expert who has helped hundreds of companies achieve sustainable, profitable growth. He has also acquired, built and sold several companies including manufacturers, distributors and retail businesses. Andrew started in the glass and glazing industry in 1986 and became particularly well known when he helped restructure Cambrian Windows Ltd, a struggling commercial window fabricator. He re-focused Cambrian into the trade market, and the business grew from £1m to over £12m PA in 4 years, returning unprecedented profit margins. Cambrian was then acquired by U.S. Fortune 500 company Masco.

He returned to Cranfield to study corporate finance. He is a regular speaker at events and conferences on business strategy and marketing, and sits on a number of strategic committees, including stints with the Chamber of Commerce and the Glass & Glazing Federation.

It also includes Business Leader Ltd, the UK’s leading B2B media platform which includes a South West and national print magazine, an online news portal and packed events network.
