Andrew Henry
Director
Andrew started his working career in estate agency, moving across to Sales and Marketing in the New Homes industry in 1990. He held several Sales Director roles for both regional and national developers, before joining a National Show home Interior Design Company in a similar role in 2003.
These roles and expertise, proved the perfect springboard to the formation of Andrew Henry Interiors from a spare room at home in 2007. Today the company employs a skilled and talented team of over 30 people and Andrew is equally as passionate about the New Homes Industry as when he first started working in it. He is the driving force behind the success of the business and particularly enjoys the many and varied working relationships with our clients and suppliers, that he and the team have developed over the years.
Having recently completed his own Grand Designs project, Andrew enjoys spending time with his partner, exploring new holiday destinations or relaxing by the water at his bolthole on the Devon Coast with Addy never far from his side!
