Andrew Jenkins is a renowned motivational speaker, mental health advocate and dynamic personality who has captured public attention when he became a finalist on Season Two of “The Traitors”. His unique blend of personal resilience and professional success has propelled him into the spotlight, where his story of overcoming adversity resonates with diverse audiences across the UK.
Andrew always nurtured a burning aspiration to play rugby for Wales, a dream that shaped much of his early life. However, a life-altering car accident at the age of 21 changed everything. Spending four weeks in a coma and suffering severe brain damage, he was forced to confront the loss of his identity along with the shattering of his lifelong ambition. Instead of succumbing to despair, he transformed these profound challenges into a powerful narrative of hope and recovery. His journey from shattered dreams to personal triumph now serves as a beacon of inspiration for those grappling with trauma and self-doubt. Andrew is now a dedicated advocate for mental health and overcoming trauma and just last year he walked 1200km to raise money for Headway – the brain injury association.
With a robust corporate background, Andrew has consistently demonstrated excellence both in business and on the field. Beginning his career as a Bank Manager for Lloyds Banking Group, Andrew’s career went from strength to strength, holding a number of leadership roles including Account Executive at Arthur J. Gallagher International and Commercial Account Executive at PG Insurance Services. These roles have not only refined his professional skills but have also equipped him with practical insights which he now weaves into his motivational talks, making his messages both relatable and actionable.
Andrew is hired as a speaker because he brings a rare blend of authenticity, experience, and passion to every engagement. Through his powerful talks and impactful workshops on resilience, mindset, vulnerability and overcoming failure, he inspires audiences to transform adversity into opportunity. Organisations across sectors value his ability to motivate and empower, recognising that his personal story and corporate acumen provide the perfect foundation for sparking meaningful change.
