Andrew J. Mullaney

Life has a way of testing you—and teaching you—when you least expect it. Born and raised in the Black Country, Andrew spent 35 years at Lloyds Bank, leading teams and supporting clients across Retail, Commercial, Corporate and Private Banking. When he stepped away it wasn’t to slow down but to step into a new chapter focused on sharing what he had learned and helping others grow.

A defining period in his life came during a secondment to Business in the Community, one of the Prince of Wales’s charities, where he worked as a Business Connector for Dudley. That experience revealed the power of connection, the joy of giving back, and the impact of creating opportunities for others. Since then, Andrew has continued mentoring young people and business leaders, supporting growth across both business, health and education, and volunteering widely, including as an Author Ambassador for Troubador. He is also a qualified Mental Health First Aider.

In 2021, Andrew fulfilled a lifelong ambition with the release of his first book, Didn’t Anyone Ever Tell You? It’s All A Game!. Praised for its warmth, honesty and practical insights, the book shares personal stories and hard-earned lessons to help readers navigate life’s twists and turns, with 50% of all income donated to charity.

Life, however, had more lessons in store. A bowel cancer diagnosis in 2024 transformed his perspective and strengthened his commitment to helping others face adversity with courage and hope. His second book, Didn’t Anyone Ever Tell You? Never Trust a Fart! Surviving and Beating Bowel Cancer, to be published in the summer of 2026, tells his story openly, encouraging early diagnosis, resilience and positivity in the face of life’s toughest challenges. There's also some humour too as you would expect. 

At his core, Andrew believes in connection, contribution and community. Through mentoring, writing, speaking, consultancy and volunteering, he is passionate about helping people and organisations unlock their potential and leave a lasting, positive impact on the world around them.
