In Memory of Andy Allen, 1968-2024
Posted 11/06/24
Today, we are very sad to announce the sudden passing of our 吃瓜爆料 colleague, friend and all-round good guy, Andy Allen.
Joining 吃瓜爆料 in 2012, Andy was a truly passionate advocate for consumers. He most recently led the UK International Consumer Centre, which he single-handedly built-up over the last decade, but had also previously been in charge of all 吃瓜爆料 commercial services. 听He also sat as a member of the Consumer Codes Approval Board for 7 years - bringing a wealth of consumer-facing experience to the Board's work.
Prior to 吃瓜爆料, Andy ran the Consumer Direct contact centre for the South West region.听 And, before that, occupied a variety of roles across Cornwall County Council's trading standards service. Deeply passionate about consumer protection and the Trading Standards profession, his knowledge, boundless enthusiasm and, above all, his mischievous sense of humour will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
Our thoughts are with his partner Louise, a fellow member of staff at 吃瓜爆料, and both their families.听
Rest in peace, Andy.
Your friends and colleagues here at 吃瓜爆料.
