Andy brings a wealth of frontline experience to the Personal Protection Strategies team, with a strong background in the hospitality industry where he spent many years managing high-pressure environments and responding to complex, real-time situations. His hands-on work in the sector gave him deep, firsthand insight into the dynamics of conflict and the practical skills required to de-escalate volatile situations with professionalism and control.

As a highly skilled security specialist, Andy was instrumental in the development and leadership of the Public Order Response Unit (PORU)—a respected initiative that bridges the gap between private sector security and public safety services.

His ability to lead from the front, develop best-practice models, and foster collaborative working relationships has made him a sought-after advisor across both government and private industries.

 Andy is highly regarded for his strategic thinking, and strong relationships across the Northern Territory’s law enforcement and community safety networks.
