Andi Russell is a communications & PR professional, having always worked in the media previous employers include GMTV, Murdoch Magazines and Emap Media working across a range of titles some of which were Elle/Elle Deco and in complete contrast the former Smash Hits!

Living in Milton Keynes on and off since 2003 she most recently worked for international charity World Vision for seven years managing their PR & media communications. This was mostly in the UK HQ but also in Asia when in 2006 not long after marrying Gareth, they moved to live and work for 16 months in Hyderabad, India. This time also included a rare and fascinating work trip to North Korea. Andi also learnt a little Hindi in India, which came in handy while driving there and ‘politely’ asking other drivers and wandering cows to be careful and not hit her.

Andi took some time out from her career a number of years ago to work for a previous church in London and has also completed a year’s theology course. Currently a joint Director for Marketing & Media consultancy, Jersey Road Ltd, Andi is also a keen reader, swimmer, music lover, ‘West Wing’ fanatic and traveler. Andi is passionate about Jesus, social action and seeing people live in true freedom.
