This site is a tribute to Andrew Garnham - a wonderful father, husband and friend. He was the strongest, funniest and most caring person many of us had the pleasure of knowing and was a true inspiration to us all.

His work ethic throughout his life was unparalleled. He started at Clays as an apprentice, worked his way through the print industry in his 20s and early 30s where he worked for several companies in offices across the world - such as Xenetron, PPS and Blue Data - before landing his first major role at Creo as Regional Business Manager in 1994. Here he helped grow business sales and was promoted to Regional Director before leaving in 2001 to begin at his co-founded business: Gap Systems. He worked here for 8 years and had some great success. He worked for a few companies between 2009 and 2018: Kodak, Esko and Pas Media. He ended his incredible career working for MasterControl, where he excelled and secured many deals. This led on to him winning the award for number three salesperson in the world for 2019.

He always put in 150% to any job. He worked until the early hours of the morning to ensure everything was in place for a meeting or a deal; he would drive to Switzerland or Belgium in the morning for a meeting and drive back that night; when everyone else was watching tv in the evening, he would still be working away on his laptop or replying to emails on his phone. To him it wasn't just a job; it was his hobby and his passion as well. In fact, whenever anyone asked him what his job was he would often be there for an hour explaining every last detail because he was that passionate about it (we never did really know exactly what he did because of this - we didn't want to ask a second time!) He made some lifelong friends whom he met at various companies he worked for, many of which would describe him as a brilliant and funny man who was a real character. Many of his managers over the years may describe him as 'challenging' - I'm sure those that knew him well enough can understand why...

He gave many valuable lessons to his two children (Alex and Chloe) as they grew up and became adults: giving advice on interviews for our first jobs; tips on how to win customers and deals; and passing on his many mischievous tricks and jokes. A lot of us knew Andrew at different times of his life, but his love of making people laugh never changed and that's just one of the reasons why we loved him so much. His wife (Natalie) was often the target of his practical jokes, much to her disappointment, but she wouldn't have changed him for the world. He was a generous man and always went above and beyond for those he loved. He made sure that the three of us had everything we could have wanted in life.

He will be missed greatly, but the joy, courage and wisdom he shared with each of us while he was here I'm sure will be carried with us forever.
