The bit where I tell you about me

Self motivated and focused; my main objective is make shows that make the viewer ‘feel’ the on-screen action. From entertainment shows to factual and human interest. I am passionate about making the best possible production from the resources available both as a producer and director

The bit where others say what they think

Paul Andrews is probably one of the smartest people I've ever worked with.  He doesn’t see problems - he finds solutions.  He's creative, thoughtful, witty, perceptive and a great team player.  He takes a huge pride in getting things right but leaves his ego at home.   He's motivated and motivating and he only drinks black coffee so it keeps the milk bills down - Vanessa Hill – Executive Producer – Tricky TV

Paul engaged himself 100 per cent at all times in the production. No problem was too difficult to solve and he always came up with the best solutions for the show. - David G. Croft - Director - Shock Treatment
