Andy Nelson In 60 Seconds

I am energised by aspirational businesses who would benefit from my leadership, strategic thinking and commercial acumen gained from 25 years experience in Financial Services, 9 years in Hi Tech manufacturing, and 2 years running my own consultancy business.
I was part of the Exec team which grew Skipton Group profits from £25m to almost £300m during my tenure, as FD of the Mortgage & Savings Division, and CFRDO of the Group.

Previous roles included FD of the RBS Retail & Direct Sales business, and Head of Cost Management at RBS.
Prior to joining Skipton I setup a consultancy business helping SME’s to better understand & sustainably reduce costs, evaluate customer profitability to shape sales strategy, and implement robust financial planning, leading to material improvements in bottom line profits
