A Batley solicitor and chair of Batley Business Association, Andrew has been the driving force behind local initiatives like the Batley Vintage Day.

“I was just sleepwalking through my life until a couple of years ago,” admits Andrew, “when I started to say yes to new opportunities.” He’s since performed in amateur theatre and now, with his colleagues, is hoping to bring a community opera to his adopted town.

“I can see Creative Scene has the potential to regenerate communities and as a SceneMaker I’d like to help that happen.”
