Meet the UK Team


Andrew Walker – Managing Director

FAB Awards 2015 Nominee – ‘Individual Contribution of the Year’
FAB Awards 2021 Winner – ‘Individual of the Year’

Managing Director, the captain of our ship, our revered and esteemed leader. Andy was responsible for gaining TQUK its Ofqual approval and has since then relentlessly worked to promote our brand and build our team. Acting as Responsible Officer, Andy is accountable to the regulator for TQUK’s compliance and to the staff for provision of suitable biscuits and donuts. Whilst he has never shirked away from his Responsible Officer duties, the same cannot be said for his role as provider.He has been caught on more than one occasion creeping out the back door to avoid hungry crowds of workers.

Andy reports to and sits on both the Advisory Panel and Board/Governing Body where any actions given will be disseminated by him to the Senior Management Team and colleagues.


Katie Orr – Awarding Director

FAB Awards 2018 Nominee – ‘Individual of the Year’

Katie worked for Ofqual before joining TQUK and whipping us all into our very best compliance shape. She works closely with Andy to shape TQUK’s strategic direction and oversees the other departments. It’s rumoured she uses a copy of Ofqual’s General Conditions of Recognition as a pillow, but we have yet to see any evidence that she sleep at all. What we do know is that she emails us about compliance. A lot.

Katie also reports to and sits on the Advisory Panel.


Tom Costigan – Head of Operations

Tom started with us as an Account Manger back in the early days when TQUK had only a handful of qualifications to offer. He is now the Operations Manager and responsible for managing the Account Manager team and co-ordinating this ‘front line’ work with the other departments. Liaising with the Business Development Team, the Quality Assurance Team and the Qualifications Development Team, he is responsible for ensuring all of our centres receive the level of service they have come to expect.

Tom has his Level 4 award in Business Administration and is working towards his Level 5 NVQ in Leadership and Management. We’re 80% sure he is a time lord and the next Doctor Who.
