Andy is a family man and works as a mortgage adviser for a high street lender. At home is kept very busy playing with dolls and trains with his three young children Leo, Alice and Clementine

Andy completed the 2005 London Marathon in 5 hours 34 minutes and 42 seconds - he was finisher number 30,745. He is considering running again in 2008.

However as a welcome distraction to the marathon training he is partial to the odd pint of Real Ale.
