Andy Cawthorne

Andy indulging his main passion "footy"
Andy Cawthorne

What can you say about him, he works quite hard when he has too. He's not shy of hard work, may not be overly keen on it, but who is? Ex-Jarvis storeman who was TUPE'd to Grant along with a number of us and subseaquently to AmeyColas.


Andy enjoying one of those moments of banter on the works van.

At one point he faced the prospect of redundancy, his position as storeman was made redundant. A worrying time for him and his work colleagues, but he opted to go into a gang rather than take his small wedge and say "chow bella!"

Andy surveying the remaining shovel work to be done at Kempston Hardwick. "Does it ever end?"

Going into a gang has been a satisfactory move, maybe a tad harder than he would like at times, but he's stuck it out which speaks volumes for the sort of guy he is. Its been a learning curve for him, he's had the short end of the stick a few times from management but he's had some success on ocassions when he's stuck to his guns over something.


An apple a day keeps the shovel blues away!

Had a tough time with one thing and another, but always seems to adopt a positive unbeat atitude. A good mate and one most people would like to work with.
