Meet Andy Bethel – Group Commercial Manager

We’re excited to welcome Andy Bethel to A&S Group as our new Group Commercial Manager.

Andy joins us with a strong background in commercial management and quantity surveying, bringing the kind of experience, structure, and strategic thinking that strengthens every part of what we do.

A Strong Commercial Mind Joining a Growing Group


Andy has built his career on delivering successful commercial outcomes across a wide range of construction projects. His expertise includes:

  • Contract negotiation
  • Cost control
  • Commercial risk management
  • Budgeting and forecasting
  • Ensuring healthy project profitability

That combination makes him the perfect fit for a business that’s expanding quickly across building safety, project services, compliance, maintenance, and scaffolding.

What Andy Will Be Leading

In his new role, Andy is taking ownership of our commercial strategy across the entire A&S Group. That includes:

  • Protecting the commercial interests of both A&S Group and our clients
  • Strengthening project profitability
  • Enhancing financial oversight across all divisions
  • Supporting tendering, contracts, and commercial governance
  • Ensuring the business continues scaling sustainably and compliantly

This is a pivotal role as our workload increases and more clients trust us with complex, safety-critical projects.


Driving Growth with Confidence

Bringing in a Group Commercial Manager is a key step in our long-term plan. Andy will help ensure every project, whether it’s fire remediation, refurbishment, compliance, maintenance, or access, is supported by the right commercial processes behind the scenes.


A Warm Welcome to Andy

We’re delighted to have Andy on board, and the whole team is already seeing the impact of his experience, approach, and leadership. With major projects underway across the UK, his role will be central to the next chapter of A&S Group’s growth.
