"Andy was a rare find. Someone who had never worked in London before. Someone who was the first to turn up, and the last to leave. He was a great intern, and one we still talk about. He was also someone who really put his heart into his work and tried hard to ensure the projects he had were completed on time and to brief. Apart from the fact that Andy gets drunk on a thimble of beer and eats nothing but ham & cheese toasties, I’d wholeheartedly recommend him to any design company looking for a keen junior designer.” SIMON MANCHIPP Founder, SomeOne "During his time at Fudge, Andy played a crucial role in the design development, and subsequent win, of a five figure retained account. His technical skills on a Mac along with his creative thinking provided him with the edge over other potential placements to secure the 4 week appointment. I wouldn’t hesitate offering a permanent position to Andy should the opportunity arise and can see a very bright future ahead of him in the industry.” ANDREW ECCLES Director, Fudge

"Andy became a valued member of the creative team. As well as supporting the senior creatives as a junior designer, he worked on live briefs from conception through to presenting his ideas to the client. In the time he was with us, Andy was enthusiastic, considerate and always keen to take on new challenges. His presentation skills in his work and in the client meetings were exemplary. In all, it was a pleasure to have Andy working for us and I would thoroughly recommend him as part of any creative team.” PHIL SKEGG Creative Director, Love "It was a pleasure working with Andy - he’s a very bright, tall and talented young man. He’s very strong conceptually and has a sound opinion so it was a massive help having him around - we’d have him back anytime.” PAUL ELLERKER Director, Branch
