When "Quiet Andiamo Summer" Didn't Get the Memo
July has been one of the busiest months since I started Andiamo, and I mean that in the best possible way. Six new clients have come on board this month alone.

Taking the Leap: My First Month as a Small Business Owner
For the past 30 years, I’ve been working in all sorts of jobs, from a paper route to bar work, telesales, recruitment, and even as a holiday rep. I eventually settled into what I thought would be my “real” career. Recently, however, I felt it was time for a change, perhaps an age thing, and wanted to try something new.
