Andy is the entrepreneurial force behind our three brands: Advance TRS, CITILINE, and Advance TRS Management Consultancy. Known for his high energy and passion for quality solutions, Andy excels in building businesses and teams that reflect his dedication and commitment, and partners with business leaders to bring human capital solutions to life.

With nearly 30 years of experience in the transport and infrastructure recruitment industry. In 2011, he founded Advance TRS with a clear vision to provide unparalleled technical recruitment solutions to niche engineering sectors. Andy’s passion for excellence and commitment to innovation have been key factors in the company’s success. Under his leadership, the Advance TRS group has emerged as a trusted partner, known for its dedication to quality, integrity, honesty, commitment, and loyalty.

Despite the remarkable growth and achievements of Advance TRS, Andy’s vision remains steadfast in his endeavours to expand a business deeply rooted in its mission to provide top-quality human capital solutions across the built environment. This vision has led to the inception of two new ventures, CITILINE and Advance TRS Management Consultancy.

As the Advance TRS group continues to evolve and flourish, Andy is at its helm, driving forward with an unwavering commitment to deliver excellence and innovative recruitment solutions to our customers . His profound understanding of the challenges and opportunities within our served sectors ensures that our company not only delivers recruitment success but also addresses the broader resourcing needs of the industries we support. Andy’s leadership inspires us all to strive for greatness and uphold the highest standards of service and integrity.

Andy has continued to find me regular long time work on numerous occasions. He is very professional in his approach. Always contactable and approachable.

Dean

Project Manager

For the decade I’ve known Andy, he has always had a detailed knowledge of the rail industry’s projects and organisations. More than this, Andy understands the myriad of roles specified by recruiting firms in the rail industry – far more than most recruiters I’ve spoken to.

Andy always delivered timely results, understanding the brief quickly and then effectively sourcing candidates before moving to manage their integration into their business role and their ongoing support.
