About Andy Cowling

 

Andy Cowling says “I retired from the British Army prematurely, because I was determined to have more than one career in my life time. Since leaving I have found that the values and skills gained within the Army have served me well in Industry; and where I have been lacking in knowledge the training I have received through the Institute of Directors and the support of my parent US Company – DHS Technologies LLC – have carried me through”.
