Endorsement: Anna Appleton, Secretary West Wirral

I first met Andrew at the spring forum in Manchester and was struck by his enthusiastic and encouraging manner. He made sure that people were introduced to others from neighbouring areas so that they could form useful contacts and thereby organise regional events.

Andrew’s promotion of regionalisation will ensure CF’s increasing effectiveness and appeal to those outside London. Andrew has shown those of us not living in the capital that he is capable of achieving much through his work on CF TV and radio.

He is clearly an experienced officer in CF and has many personal attributes that will make him a successful leader for this organisation. He has identified changes that need to be made to guarantee that CF becomes a professional and impressive body and I feel confident that my vote will be going to the right candidate.
