Andrew Brown
Managing Director
Andrew’s bond with Fast React started more than 20 years ago when, as a management consultant, he worked with the very first version of the product.
His experience in the apparel, footwear and textiles industry also saw him take consultancy roles for premium brands including Pringle of Scotland and Ballantyne Cashmere as well as leading manufacturing companies overseas.
In 1997 he returned to work with the software’s original developer Paul Stevens and led the management buyout in 1999 to establish Fast React Systems.
As Managing Director, Andrew has overseen the strategic global growth of the company, which initially had just two employees. Fast React now has a direct presence in over 10 countries, following the belief in building skilled local resources to service clients.
His extensive knowledge of manufacturing and sourcing operations also enables him to play a hands-on role within the business he truly believes offers cutting-edge solutions to help the fashion industry and its supply chain to remain flexible, responsive and profitable.
He divides his time between his UK base and the Far East, rolling out the company’s ambitious plans for growth and supporting key relationships with new and existing customers.
