Andrew Oliver

From a school trip to Ocean Park circa 1977/78 from left the late Alex Read, then Digby, Andrew Moss, Tim Morgan and Andrew ... who since leaving HK in '85 spent a year in Cambridge resitting A-levels, resulting in a marginal improvement on the first time, then got further educated for a couple more years.

Worked for a couple of years in for Johnson Matthey, then got bored and returned to HK (where to my joy I found Geoff Siddle was running the White Stag pub). After a year I was deemed to be a drain on resource by my parents, so I came back to UK and worked at Christian Salvesen until they made me redundant 7 years later. This set a trend and 2 more redundancies later I am now the Logistics Manager for a company that supplies cans to Heinz etc.

Met Donna about 4 years ago and we got married last year, she is a catering manager and cook and this allows to me to indulge in my favourite hobby of putting on weight, something that I have been able to devote all my spare time to since I stopped playing rugby a couple of years ago.


I'm currently living in Grantham in Lincolnshire, and hoping to persuade Donna that she would like a holiday in HK, so I can show her all the sights. This reunion is a great idea and I have enjoyed getting in touch with some of the old names. Looking forward to October ... and a couple of pics of me in the last coupla of years:
