ANDY welsher

Andy is our Director and has been working at Welfaux since nearly the very start in 1986! Following in the footsteps of his father, Andy started work at Welfaux as a salesman, moving from his career in IT. Since then he has worked his way up through the ranks to Service Manager, Service Director and finally, took over from his father as Managing Director when he retired on 1st January 2000. 

Andy always knew that he wanted to take over from his father, having grown up around the industry, his dad having been in the forklift industry for as long as he can remember. It makes Andy proud to know that he has filled his fathers shoes, and that his son, Chris, has now taken over as Managing Director himself, keeping Welfaux in the family.

Andy truly enjoys coming into work and spending time with the team. Although he has seen the company expand and develop significantly since he started, the same friendly, supportive environment that Welfaux was founded on still exists.

Andy’s day-to-day tasks include everything from finance and sales, to helping out on the service side. Most recently he has been busy planning the Welfaux HQ extension, which will hopefully be coming soon!
