NICE TO MEET YOU
I’m Andrew (Andy) Shaw
With over 35 years in the construction industry from starting an apprenticeship at 14, working as a bricklayer, then starting my own business, running and expanding it for 15 years to a stage of making 20%+ net profit year-on-year, giving me flexibility to retire early. This allowed me to take on other roles within construction to understand building companies, travel, and start Brickies Network, teaching others the business skills, strategies and systems to succeed in bricklaying and the pitfalls and traps to avoid.
