Stuart Andrews's Email Addresses & Phone Numbers

📖 Summary

International jet setter, raconteur, bon viveur, knitted neck-tie model, ex-hair double for Pearce Brosnan and part-time ‘works’ racing driver. The product of a dynamic union - his father was a lion-tamer, and mother an exiled Prussian Countess who met in Luxembourg - he was born on the Orient Express instantly acquiring multiple nationalities. A creative thinker, he has extensive, diverse and extraordinary marketing industry experience working with global brands like Shazam, Coca-Cola, Extreme and Nokia as well as cultural icons including an altercation with Keanu Reeves when his band Dog Star were playing at Glastonbury; and a near mythical night in Hollywood involving the cast of Friends, Mick Jones of the Sex Pistols, John Taylor from Duran Duran, The legendary Viper Room, Dennis Rodman and Blondie. He lived in Milan for 18 months and worked for Missoni, Trussardi, Dolce & Gabbana and Romeo Gigli. He studied Estate Management at South Bank, so is technically a surveyor, but found the lure of brands, advertising, media, extreme sports and fashion luvvies so strong that he couldn’t bring himself to dispense with his own chin and comply with the compulsory wearing of jumbo cord trousers as a career choice on a daily basis. In his spare time he collects and hand-builds bespoke vintage racing bicycles and is an accomplished IKEA hacker. Creative thinker / Strategist / Father / Cyclist / Eccentric– he looks about 10 years younger than he actually is and he’s genuinely a nice person.
