Andrew Carr Associates Ltd is an independent consultancy incorporated in July 2008 by Andy Carr.

Career History

Andy is a chartered accountant and has worked in the pharmaceutical industry for AstraZeneca for over 13 years.

In that time he has been responsible for managing the company's finances, whilst also taking them through large scale change management projects such as SAP implementations, Sarbannes Oxley compliance, downsizing and outsourcing to shared service centres.

For 10 years Andy was also the PPRS principal negotiator for AstraZeneca with the DH, responsible for all compliance and advisory work and thus has an intimate understanding of the scheme and its many intricacies.

Most recently, Andy held the position of Supply Chain Director for AstraZeneca and was accountable for the successful delivery of their Direct to Pharmacy (DTP) project in February 2008.

Rather than progress a successful career at AstraZeneca, Andy decided to leave the organisation to help other manufacturers make the right decisions in areas that he has strong skill sets and capabilities:

• Supply chain changes and DTP propositions
• PPRS compliance and portfolio pricing
• General Financial consultancy
• Project management and change management
• Project Leadership
• Problem solving and value creation
