With more than 23 years’ experience within the rail and construction sectors, Gerard is responsible for the management and reporting of all financial matters within Andromeda, working alongside fellow board members to grow the business by implementing a sustainable growth strategy.

Andromeda is a highly skilled business with the technical ability to resolve the challenges of driving efficiency into the railway network through partnering and leadership. I'm extremely proud to sit on the Company's board and be a part of their journey.

Starting his career in finance after graduating from Sheffield University with a 1st class honours degree in Mathematics, Gerard’s time within the rail industry began in 1997 as part of the Finance Department at FastLine Ltd, a railway track renewals company that was later acquired by Jarvis.

Since then, he’s worked in a variety of senior finance positions for Siemens, Giffen, Amaro Signalling and now Andromeda, taking on the role of the Company’s Finance Director in 2018.

A commercially-focused Chartered Accountant, Gerard brings to his role an innate ability to consistently challenge and improve existing processes and systems. It’s no surprise, therefore, that he has been instrumental in the success of Andromeda to date.
