Andy Ewings

Andy Ewings (Born August 8 1967) is an English actor and Film, TV & Leisure Services Consultant. He know resides in County Louth, Ireland with his wife Leone and two children Klara and Conor.

Education

He attended Horndean Secondary School, Horndean, Hampsire; Southdowns College of Further Education and Hammersmith Hospital (School of Nursing), where he trained as a Registered Nurse.

Work

From Wembley Cup Finals to K Club Ryder Cups, Freddie Mercury Tributes to Justin Timberlake Extravaganzas, Andy Ewings’ input to almost every major event either side of the Irish Sea over the last two decades is testament to both his passion and ability.

A qualified nurse, he joined the staff of Wembley Stadium’s Medical facility in the late eighties. From 1992, he took over responsibility for the First Aid and Medical Care available within the Conference Centre, Exhibition Halls, Arena and Stadium.

This was followed by further advancements within Health and Safety by achieving numerous qualifications within the field. During this time Andy broadened his palette by overhauling the Safety and Facilities management practices of a large multi-national manufacturer’s factories in England and Wales. Experience gained from setting up ongoing operational systems in this context provided a valuable set of skills which counterpointed yet complimented the Event focused work he was doing at the Wembley complex.

Andy’s involvement with the filming of “Mike Bassett, England Manager” in 2000, as well as re-awaking fond memories of his days on “The Bill” a decade earlier, lead him to expand his skill-set even further to encompass TV and Film Safety. Also, contacts made here coupled with his sporting connections, saw him being called upon more and more to organise celebrity appearances for his clients and associates.

Andy remained part of the project team for the New Wembley until 2001 when an offer from an Irish Safety Consultancy company provided a new set of challenges to get stuck into. This move saw him taking responsibility for Event Safety Management at major indoor and outdoor events throughout the country.

In January 2006 Andy took the next logical step and set up a creative hub specialising in tailored service provision for the Leisure, Events, Theatre, Film, TV and Concert Industries.

During this period Andy has appeared as well as consulted on various movie and television productions.

TV appearances and Consultancies

Andy has appeared in productions such as The Bill, Mike Bassett:England Manager(where he played opposite Ricky Tomlinson in the opening scene), Snatch-Directed by Guy Ritchie and Helen West starring Amanda Burton. Andy has consulted on The Box, Test the Nation (Ireland), Celebrities Go Wild and High Kings.
