The Master and Mistress Pavior
Andrew E Panter DL — Our New Master
Andrew joined the Paviors in 1991. He has been Chairman of the Liverymens Committee, the Charity Committee
and the Luncheon Club. Although born in England Andrew was brought up and spent much of his school time in
Adelaide, South Australia. His mother always believed that he and his brother could not get a proper education
down under and the family returned to England where Andrew went to Imperial College and obtained an honours
degree in Civil Engineering.
On graduating Andrew joined Binnie & Partners, consulting engineers, where he gained the appropriate design and
site experience to become an MICE and Chartered Engineer. His Civils project was the design and subsequent supervision
on site as Resident Engineer of Flitwick Sewage Disposal Works in Bedfordshire. The latter role proved
to be a challenge as he had to pretend that the initials AEP on the site drawings were not his. Whilst at Binnie’s
Andrew also worked on the Mangla Dam in Pakistan and the Plover Cove scheme in Hong Kong.
After 6 years Andrew joined George Wimpey where he had wide variety of engineering and management roles including
being a technical witness at Planning Inquiries, Regional Private Development Manager for Liverpool and Managing Director
for a variety of major subsidiary companies including Wimpey Waste Management, Wimpey Hobbs, Wimpey Asphalt, Wimpey
Minerals International and UK Coal Mining. Andrew believes that he was fortunate in being promoted every two or three years so
that he did not have sufficient time
to cause any real damage in any of
these roles. Interesting projects
during this time included establishing
a major new coastal quarry in
Bantry Bay, setting up a pelletised
slag facility in South Wales and
playing a key role in the privatisation
of the Czech quarrying industry.
Andrew then moved to USA, to become CEO and President of
Wimpey Minerals North America
and a member of the Executive
Board of George Wimpey plc before
finally returning to the UK to
be Managing Director of Wimpey
Homes Holdings for five years.

France where they spend their time when not travelling. Andrew enjoys sailing and is a member of The Travellers
