Andy
Andy Moloney joins our team in the new role of Commercial Manager. His enthusiastic passion for cyber security, technology and developing the right services for clients makes him a great fit at Grant McGregor.
Previously, Andy worked at SolarWinds – a five year journey that saw him latterly in the role of UK Sales Manager working as part of a large sales team, within the confines of a complex corporate structure. As a client of SolarWinds, the team at Grant McGregor built up a close relationship with Andy and as time went on it was obvious that his talents and personal motivations were the right fit for him to join us.
Andy had admired our founding principles – people centric IT solutions, along with the way in which the business is operated – this made his jump to us a no brainer.
As a guitar player, keen photographer and chef, we hope that in a more relaxed environment, with strong but personal leadership and greater autonomy, we can harness his creativity allowing him to develop and launch new products and services that will keep our customers ahead of the curve.

Tell us something that you personally aim to achieve inside the next 5 years.
I’d like to finish writing one of the books or plays I’ve started so many times. I’d also like to get off the plateau I’ve got stuck on with my guitar playing in the last five years. That’s two things but I don’t care.
Give us one reason that you wanted to work with GM…
I’d known the team here for several years as they had been customers of my former employer. I genuinely admired the way they went about things and wanted to work in an environment with strong values and where people came first. I’ve gladly found that that goes for the staff and customers alike.
