I got to know Andrew through work back in early 2005, just as he was venturing out on building the Andrew Blades Empire. Always had a smile, always looked for the good & positive in situations. One of those people who when you had spent time with, you always felt encouraged. Andrew you were the one who got me into cycling, although I live in Grimsby we still got opportunities to ride together, remember the groups congregating in your driveway @ Eastfield Rd. Also grateful you gave Sam a job in the early years as you grew your business. You were one of the Good Men Andrew. My thoughts are with Mandy & your children,. What fine adults they have grown into. A credit to you Andrew. Karl
