Born in Cyprus but raised in Cheltenham, Andrew thinks he inherited his business drive and focus from his father.

“My father came over from Cyprus, and was very much a small business man,” he says.

“Like many Cypriots, he opened up fish and chip shops and cafés, and so some of my childhood was spent driving around those sites, collecting takings, and discussing business ideas.

“From a very young age I had a trading, money-making, get-up-and-go mentality.”

Looking back on how he expanded Fasthosts, he says that he was “laser focused”, and that “nothing else mattered”.

While the sale of the business in 2006 made him very rich, he says it also left him feeling unfulfilled.

“I remember being in the office when the money came into my bank account, and I thought it would make me really happy,” he says.

“But I actually had a sinking feeling, as I walked through the office and realised I’d sold it all, that it all came down to a number on a spreadsheet.”
