It was with great sadness that we learned this week of the death from cancer of Andy Coldrick. Andy was an original founder of StrataBridge and one of the great pioneers of Sales and Operations Planning together with his long-time friend and business partner Dick Ling. Andy had moved to the USA to work alongside Dick in recent years, and struggled against cancer for much of that time, but continued writing and working until very recently.
We will remember Andy as great friend, a great colleague and as someone who lived life to the full. Our condolences go to Andy’s family, Clive and Ingrid, and all of Andy’s huge network of friends, colleagues and clients.
A service will be held to celebrate Andy’s life at 1pm on Monday 12 January at St Lawrence Church, Sandhurst Lane, Sandhurst, Gloucester.

we’ve met Andy first time in 1984 and I was with American Cyanamid his first class A customer. Over these years our family developed a deep friendship. We enjoyed Andy’s personality, his sense of humor and professional work. We remember him as charismatic
good friend and are very grateful for the fantastic time we could spent and work with Andy. Our whole family is very sad about his death.
Thank you for all your love and friendship over these years.

Dear Manfred and Hannelore, Grant and are both very saddened by Andy’s death and long battle with cancer. We often think of you both, and what a positive influence you all had on Grant at the Oliver Wight Meetings. He has grown up to be a successful hard-working individual which Andy so influenced. We had a most wonderful and fulfilling life together filled with love, joy, excitement and sacrifice. I could not have asked for more for me or my son. We shared vacations and trips with Clive and Ingrid and their families which will never be forgotten. Linda and Grant
