“Andrew took over a good but under-invested business and established and implemented the strategy to transform it into a digital sales and marketing-based business supported by an efficient back office operation, bringing in everything from a new team to a new infrastructure. He deployed good and pragmatic judgement and effective leadership.” Guy Parsons – Executive Chairman -Commercial Services Group
“Andrew joining the Saxon board was a breath of fresh air. He and I in conjunction with the marketing director formulated a new strategy for the key principal brands and modernised the approach to both trade and consumer led marketing activity. Andrew is a good leader, a highly approachable character that helped me personally through a tough developmental stage of my senior career.” Gary Vincent – Sales Director – Saxon Industries Ltd
“I had the pleasure of working and learning from Andrew while at Burt's Bees. Andrew took on an enormous challenge of redesigning our European go to market strategy to include both a direct and a distributor model. He was very successful due to his extensive business acumen, his motivating leadership style, his knowledge of the market, and his ability to focus on strategic choices to penetrate the market. In a short period, he identified critical markets, strong distributors, and was able to penetrate key new markets including France, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, and several smaller markets to increase our global position. In addition, he was able to turn around several critical accounts and gain strong brand positioning and account position. Andrew has focused on the operational efficiencies of the operation by streamlining and improving processes. Andrew is a key asset with outstanding leadership qualities. He clearly understands the need to work with headquarters and established very strong working relationships with my team and with others. I would highly recommend Andrew and hope to work with him again one day”. Stephanie Kunhel – Vice President – Sales & Business Development – Burt’s Bees.
“The CEO Today judging panel were particularly impressed by the manner in which Andrew Dixon has consistently achieved growth and success in his tenure as CEO of the Residential Landlords Association. In the past year, Andrew Dixon has successfully built on the legacy of his predecessor since taking the reins at the RLA in August 2018. Mr Dixon has successfully managed the merger with fellow association, the NLA and in doing so has been instrumental in creating the largest landlord trade association with 80,000 members representing over 500,000 properties across the UK., and for that he deserves to be recognised as one of the UK’s top CEOs”.-CEO Today Magazine
