60 seconds with Syndico's Andy Wilson

Syndico's managing director, Andy Wilson, talks to us about his career in the two-way radio industry

How do you spend most of your time at work?

I never really have the same day twice! I have an incredible administration team, which frees me up to spend time with customers, suppliers and the team themselves. We are focused on growth and dealer acquisition at the moment, so it’s always very busy.

What’s the one gadget that you can’t live without?

My Android phone, and specifically the Evernote application on it that I use about 100 times per day.

Describe your most unforgettable project.

I used to do the radios for Victoria’s Secret [the retailer] – there were some unforgettable moments there. Getting coverage over five floors using PMR446 was a challenge.

What’s the most unusual thing you’ve seen while working in the radio sector?

The dance moves from a dealer principal on a night out. The dealer shall remain nameless, of course, but I can tell you it was at Flares in Sheffield…

What advice would you give to a young radio engineer who’s starting their first job in the industry?
