DREVER & HEDDLE

Andy McGinn - Practice Manager

Andy was born and brought up in Orkney and some might say Drever & Heddle!

Andy was educated in Orkney as well as attending boarding schools at Croftinloan, Pitlochry and Blenerne near Hawick.

Andy’s late father Frank McGinn was a Senior Partner of Drever & Heddle. Andy started his career as the delivery and tea boy, often seen running around Kirkwall in his short trousers. This makes him the longest serving employee at Drever & Heddle (possibly ever!) being some 44 years – who’s counting?

There was no getting away from the office in his younger years as Andy lived in the building, his then living room is now used as an office.

Andy has had many a role in Drever & Heddle since his delivery boy days. Ranging from Legal Clerk, Executry Clerk, Property Manager and is now Drever & Heddle’s Practice Manager. He is the first person in Orkney to be qualified under the M.N.A.E.A (Member of the National Association of Estate Agents).

He is extremely well known throughout Orkney, not only due to his status within Drever & Heddle.

Above all, Andy still finds time to carry out his role as a loyal supporter of Orkney Rugby Football Club being a founder member, however no longer participates in the sport.

He can also be seen on the golf course, where you may see his head appear above the bunkers!
