自那以后，作为证券投资组合的主席，他逐渐获得了更多更进一步的关于管理层收购、管理层换购、公司转型及重新投资的经验。如今，他是玛丽唐公共有限公司(Merrydown Plc) （是他于1998年成功领导该公司度过危机并转型）和照片浏览公共有限公司(Photo-Scan Plc) 的总裁，他还是其他许多私企的总监。此外，他还是萨默赛特郡板球具乐部(Somerset County Cricket Club) 的副主席。
Andy Nash began his career at Cadbury-Schweppes in 1978 after graduating in Economics and Geography from the University College of Swansea.
He carried out a variety of sales and marketing roles at Cadburys, progressing to Senior Management where he was ultimately responsible for the Tea and Coffee brands in the group. In 1984 he joined Sterling Heath Ltd., the OTC division of Sterling Drug Inc. as Marketing Controller. A year later, aged 29, he was promoted to Marketing Director.
In 1987 he was headhunted to join Taunton Cider Limited on the main board as Commercial Director with responsibility for Marketing, Sales and New Product Development. During his time there the marketing strategies were radically changed causing sales and profits to increase substantially. This is demonstrated by the fact that, with two colleagues he jointly led a successful MBO of the company for 72m in 1991. A year later the company was floated on the LSE for 156m and then sold to another Drinks company in 1995 for 280m.
He was the only director of Taunton Cider invited to stay with the enlarged group by its new owners, being appointed Managing Director of the Drinks division - Matthew Clark Taunton Ltd. As Managing Director of the 400m turnover company he successfully oversaw the post acquisition integration. In 1997 he decided to move on and pursue a career as a portfolio non-executive director.
Since then, as a portfolio Chairman, he has acquired further extensive experience of MBO’s, MBI’s, turnarounds, & re-financings. At present he is Chairman of Merrydown plc (he led the successful rescue and turnaround in 1998), Photo-Scan plc, and a director of several other private companies. He is also Deputy Chairman of Somerset County Cricket Club.
