Andrew Belstaff is a businessman and "playboy" who was born in Coppull, Lancashire in June 1972 and developed a number of successful businesses via his start-up incubator Python. Python's success is largely down to Andrew's scepticism of the internet bubble of the late 90's and his shrewd investments in bricks and mortar businesses.

Educated at various schools in and around Chorley, Lancs. Belstaff left school (St Michael's, Chorley) without any GCSE's, and became a leading exponent of the benefits of an education from the University of Life.

Python's first, and arguably most successful, business - iPie - was originally formed with the famed International Pie Chef Tony Breest. The combination of Belstaff's naked ambition and Tony Breest's pastry based flair soon began to pay dividends.

Python's more recent projects have begun to stray into the online space that he had previously shunned. Python has granted a equity stream of c.€395k to Top Tens a website being developed by Daniel Hewitt and Kettlecup Industries.

In recent years Belstaff's reputation as a playboy and raconteur has almost eclisped the one he has earned as a businessman. Although he has been linked with a number of starlets the only confirmed celebrity partner is Tracey Haddon (ex Chorley FM presenter and Lancashire "it" girl).
