“Andrew joins ttc to set up our Bristol office and provide some senior support to the Birmingham team. Right from the initial meeting with Andrew it was clear that his experience and knowledge of the Bristol Market was going to support the growth goals of ttc, and allow the company to expand into the South West and South Wales market which we had identified as part of the business growth plan.“
