Meet Andy
Co-founder, Director
Andy is the life and soul of the Actor Inside party. It's passion for the work that has moved the company from a twinkle in the eye to the towering monolith you see today.
As the lead trainer, Andy has trained hundreds (maybe even thousands) of people in one-to-ones, workshops and training days since starting Actor Inside with Jo. He studied History & Politics at Oxford University, before training as an actor at London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). His acting credits have included work on shows including Sky Atlantic’s ‘Gangs of London’ and Netflix’s ‘Peaky Blinders’, and he is also a certified Somatic Yoga instructor with the Yoga Teachers Alliance.
Outside of acting, Andy enjoys Crossfit and Muay Thai (when he’s not injured), and writing and performing his own music (when he is). He has a keen interest in science and practice of peak performance, which is just as well given his position.
Meet Jo
Co-founder, Adviser
From the get go, Jo has been the valuable business-mind of the Actor Inside operation. His work has been indispensable in keeping the training grounded in solving the real world communication challenges, and it was his search for training for his former team at Beauhurst that created the spark that started the Actor Inside flame.
Jo studied History at Oxford University, and worked his way up to become the COO at Beauhurst, a rapidly-growing tech start-up that has since become an established player in the London business landscape. Buoyed by his successes, he has now gone on to found Spruce, which is solving the renewable energy crisis by investing in cutting-edge technology for improving the ease of heat pump installations from both the supplier and customer sides. He continues to advise on our business needs, and greatly strengthens our offering by providing the perspective of a C-Suite leader on the business frontline.
He claims his affection for Damien Lewis is independent of shared appearances.
