Andrews co-founded Hollywood Monster in 1991 with his father John, and the company has gone from strength-to-strength, firmly establishing itself as one of the major signage, and wide-format print players in both the Midlands and the wider industry.

“To say that I’m honoured to win this award is a complete understatement—being recognised by the IoD I, without a doubt, one of the highlights of my career to date,” Tim says.

“I am really proud that, after 25 years, Hollywood Monster remains a family-run business and operates from the heart of Birmingham. The challenging economy has seen the business, and our target sectors, change over the years but our team has remained dedicated to providing the best possible quality and service for each and every client.”

Jason Wouhra, chairman of IoD West Midlands, adds: “Tim is quite simply a force of nature, somehow managing to fit several jobs into a working week. It's clear from clients' comments that he always puts them first and leads by example with his astonishing work ethic.

“Throughout the recession and ever since, Hollywood Monster has posted consistently strong growth and profits—a testament to his strategy to continually invest in the company's people and technology.”
