Andy was born in London just in time to see England win the World Cup, and much later began his career in academia, gaining a PhD in American Literature and lecturing at several universities, including Maryland and Gothenburg in Sweden, and pursuing a sideline in sheep-farming before moving back to London and becoming a literary agent and TV documentary-maker (working for various broadcasters and making series such as the BBC’s Monsoon Railway, set in Bengal). He has written several biographies, including the Second World War story American Pimpernel, and became the official biographer of India’s Prime Minister (then Chief Minister of Gujarat) publishing Narendra Modi, a Political Biography (Harper Collins). Andy joined Asian Media Group in 2018, his first “proper” job, and has been there ever since, believing that, while trade journalism might not save the world, it might just save journalism.

The NFRN - the National Federation of Independent Retailers - has announced this evening (18) that Greg Deacon has left his role as Chief Operating Officer (COO) at the NFRN.

It said that Mr Deacon, who has held the position since September 2019, leaves with the best wishes of the National Executive Committee.

National President Stuart Reddish, Vice President Muntazir Dipoti and Deputy Vice President Jason Birks will look after Mr Deacon's duties in the interim.

Announcing the move, Mr Reddish said: "We are grateful to Greg for his hard work over the past 15 months. He has helped the NFRN forge closer links with suppliers, assisting in the introduction of new deals and activity to help independent retailers make money, save money and find easier ways to do business."

The NFRN was otherwise unavailable for comment.
