Biography
Andrew is a Senior Lecturer in Marketing in the Marketing & Entrepreneurship Department in Aston Business School, where he has worked since June 2019. His research interests lie in the areas of services marketing and research methodology. Andrew is an expert in the measurement of service quality, customer satisfaction, and a range of other marketing metrics.

He is a member of the editorial review board of the European Journal of Marketing and the Journal of Marketing Theory & Practice and reviews for the Journal of Business Research and the British Journal of Management. He has presented his work at a variety of national and international conferences.
His work has appeared in Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, Journal of Business Research, Psychology & Marketing, Industrial Marketing Management, International Marketing Review, and others. With Prof Nick Lee, he edited the Marketing volume of the 2014 Wiley Encyclopaedia of Management.
Andrew was a finalist for the Best Paper Award at the 2001 Academy of Marketing Annual Conference and the 2007 Postgraduate Research Prize at Loughborough University. In 2011, Andrew was awarded the Outstanding Reviewer Award from the European Journal of Marketing, and in 2014 he received the Dean's Award for Innovation in Teaching. This was followed by an Aston Astonishing Academics Award in 2016 for Most Effective Use of Feedback. While at Southampton, Andrew picked up a Dean's Teaching Award (top 10% of student feedback) and a Faculty Staff Achievement Award for Outstanding Contribution.
