Andrew Birley

Operations and Finance Manager (UK)

Andrew has worked in and around start-ups, small businesses, charities and social enterprises for over a decade. As a result, he has gained experience in and often led on a range of key organisational functions including financial management and planning, human resources, project management, business transformation, new business development and communications.

He ran his own business for six years, before being persuaded to join a new social enterprise as Head of Operations where he played a leading role in its growth and transformation over a two-and-a-half-year period, before joining international development charity the Centre for Global Equality in 2020.

Andrew lives in Ely (the 9th smallest city in the UK) and in his spare time tries to write stories, releases rescued hedgehogs and does anything else that he can to protect our natural world.
