Andy Beverley

Director

Andy started his working life as an engineering officer in the Royal Navy. After serving for 10 years, he left to become an entrepreneur, founding 3 technology businesses which he runs to this day. As a tech entrepreneur he knows the benefits that digital systems can bring us, but he is also only too aware of their limitations.

He has always believed in localism and decision-making at the lowest level, and he feels that centralised digital payments are pushing life in the opposite direction, taking power away from individuals and local communities. He says it's essential that we retain universal cash payments to ensure personal freedom and social equality for years to come
