Work anniversaries are always special – but reaching 25 years with the same company is a truly remarkable achievement.
This week, we’re incredibly proud to celebrate Andy, one of our longest-serving team members, as he marks a quarter-century with Michael Aubrey Barrow (Formally Michael Aubrey Partnership).
Andy’s journey is one of continuous growth, adaptability, and commitment. Starting out as a CAD technician, he has evolved alongside the industry – mastering Revit, embracing 3D modelling, and continually pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with the tools at hand.
Today, Andy plays a vital role in projects across the board – from residential extensions and new builds to reinforced concrete detailing, steel connections, framing, and drainage design. His technical expertise is second to none, and his ability to tackle the most challenging corners of a project is a key part of our success.
“I enjoy using my many years of experience to innovate and find solutions for technically challenging problems then I communicate them as clearly as possible – using the BIM software and specialist engineering tools we’ve got at our fingertips.” Andy says.
But for Andy, what really makes the job meaningful is the people.
“What makes the difference is the team. It’s the variety of projects we take on, but also the quality of the people you work with. Collaborating, learning from each other, bouncing ideas off different specialisms – that’s how you deliver the most cost-effective, buildable solutions.”
Colleagues describe Andy as calm, reliable, and endlessly supportive.
He’s a brilliant teammate and someone who brings out the best in those around him – always willing to lend a hand or share his insight.
Looking ahead, Andy sees a bright future for the profession:
“With technologies and products evolving so quickly, I see processes becoming more streamlined. That means fewer site queries, faster builds, and better value for clients.”
From all of us at Michael Aubrey Barrow, Andy – thank you for 25 years of loyalty and hard work!
