I trained with  HM Coastguard as a rescue officer  trained in Cliff Rescue, Search Management, Communications, Navigation, FPOS first aid, EOD, Helo landing sites and water rescue. I have carried out land searches all over the coast of Dorset and Hampshire to find a variety of missing people with most of the results having a happy ending and sadly a few not.

My second role is to carry out maintenance works on properties owned by the MCA, alongside this I am also the owner of a Building company which carries out a variety of building projects. I am also qualified as a PADI diver, Level 4 RYA rescue boat and I have also served on SAR helicopters at Portland Dorset.

Andy has been supporting the team since 2007 first with his trainee search dog Charlie 2 and then as an operational support and most recently he is training his new dog Jess.
