Chief Executive Officer at Epping Forest District Council
📍 Epping, England, United Kingdom

Andrew Small is the Chief Executive Officer at Epping Forest District Council, bringing over 40 years of experience in local government. With a strong background in finance as the former Section 151 Officer, he is regarded as an effective leader who provides stability and continuity for the council.

His long career in public service began unexpectedly. Forty years ago, he was encouraged by a careers officer to consider local government, an idea he initially dismissed as neither exciting nor glamorous. This decision, however, set the course for his entire professional life, which he finds massively inspiring.

He has spent four decades in a career he originally flatly refused to consider.
