"During his 30 years of commercial experience, Andy confirmed his conviction that executives' potential was rarely fully utilised"

Andy King

Andy is focused on coaching executives and teams up to board level – as he believes positive intervention today has the biggest impact on business tomorrow.

He approaches his work by combining his insight into business issues with the space and time of coaching to help develop the leadership qualities required by the next generation of senior executives. He brings challenge and rigour to the process in a supportive environment.

His background includes being on the management board of Debenhams, MD of Evans and then Burton Menswear before being appointed MD Menswear for the de-merged Arcadia Group where his responsibility also included Top Man, Principles, Hawkshead and Racing Green. Subsequently, he was buying and merchandising director at New Look where he launched the menswear and kidswear divisions.

During his 30 years of commercial experience, Andy confirmed his conviction that executives’ potential was rarely fully utilised and that mentoring high achievers to better realise their capabilities was the most rewarding aspect of his work. He experienced the benefits of being professionally coached, and found the value of an independent view backed by credible experience enormously helpful at key moments in his career.

Andy has a Certificate in Coaching through Coaching Development, an International Coaching Federation accredited coach training programme, is an Affiliate Member of the Association for Coaching and has completed Clean Language and Emergent Knowledge training programmes, as well as training in Systems and Team coaching.
