He achieved New Era Bronze, Silver and Gold medal acting qualification awards - graded 'with distinction,' for each.

He was a 'go to,' public speaker for public events and speeches in the Boroughs and Departments in which he served, speaking to audiences across the spectrum of diversity, ages and communities in London. Highlights include delivering a speech to thousands of Muslims whilst broadcast live on TV in Pakistan and speaking to the followers of a very personable and charismatic 'living God,' who had travelled from across the world to hear their Guru speak.

Andy performed characters such as 'Burglar Bill,' and as Victorian and WW2 Police Officers - amongst other performances based around preventing knife, gun, gang crime, personal safety and bringing history to life whilst working in Community Roles and in Schools, Colleges and Universities. He firmly believes that as a Police Officer acting is a natural extension of 'the job.' He asserts that whilst everyone else is sensibly running away and seeking safe refuge the Police Officers are mustering their best ability to act outwardly calm, take charge and tackle whatever. confronts them - no matter what their human mind and body may be telling them!

Andy also became the Voice of God commentating live on Community and public Events - often with large audiences. As a Professional Story Teller and member of the Society of Storytellers - he performs to bring the written word alive for audiences of all ages, both in character and spellbinding reads. His audiences range from Nursery - through all school and adult ages to Senior Citizens. Examples include to Adoption Agencies, Schools and Retirement Homes.
