STAR Awards Winner 2009 Workplace Mentor - Andy Russell
Workplace Mentor - Andy Russell Eastbourne garage owner, Andy Russell, is a
very driven man. Not only does he run two busy garages and employs ten local
people to work in the business but he also finds the time to mentor vulnerable
young people from the seaside town and offer them work experience. Many of
these young people, aged 14-16, are classed as NEET (Not in Education or
Employment) and Andy gives them the opportunity to turn their lives around by
giving them the chance to see what they could do if they were given a positive
break. Ever modest, Andy says he’s not doing anything out of the ordinary but we
know that what he is doing is exceptional and we commend him for his
dedication. He really is a star. “Sometimes all these young people need is a
nudge in the right direction,” he comments, “and I am happy to give this to them.
We all need a chance in life.
