I had the opportunity to photograph Andrew Tinkler a couple of days back for ‘A’ magazine – the publication by RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects). This was during an interview for the magazine and on a tight time frame as students from his old school were visiting the company as part of their business studies course and their arrival was immanent.
Andrew is involved with improving local school resources and has invested a large sum of money in the design and build of two new school buildings in the area which he hopes will encourage students to stay in the area and graduate to become employees of his own company. Too much good talent leaves the area and doesn’t come back.

Being interviewed by a reporter, photographed at the same time and expecting the soon arrival of a party of students who wanted to quiz the Director of the Stobart Group must have been quite a stressful time. It wasn’t the most ideal of circumstances I would have to admit, but after the interview and visit was over, it was good to receive comments from the reporter that ‘…I like the photos – he looks a lot more relaxed in them than he actually was!’ Which can only be a good thing.
