We are excited to introduce our newest member of the Steelway Brickhouse team, Andy Childs, Technical Sales Manager. With a wealth of experience in the industry and a fresh perspective, we sit down with Andy to learn more about his background, his journey within the industry, and his experiences during his first month at Steelway Brickhouse.

1.    Tell us a bit about your background and how you got started in the industry.

Coming from a Foundry and Engineering family background, it was inevitable I was going to follow in their footsteps through my own career. Growing up I had a strong fascination with dismantling, improving, and re-building things whether that be Go-carts, RC cars, building skate ramps or helping my father restoring cars, it was clear the passion was there.

My first opportunity in the industry came in steel manhole covers as a trainee at the age of 18. Starting in product design and order processing along with working in day-to-day production for my first three years, it gave me the full scope of experience from initial enquiry to concept/design and manufacture, then finally delivering the engineered solution to site. This has continued through my 18-year career with some of the country’s leading manufacturers and engineering talent. Each role has included my passion for helping and learning in every area of the process to deliver the best service possible to the custome.
