Dr Andrew Gibson, consultant
Born in Epsom and brought up in Surbiton, Surrey, he created the Hessle-based Agencia company after a medical career that had begun as a clinical psychologist in a new department at Broadgate Hospital, Beverley.
By his late 20s he was the head of department there, while at the same time carrying out private counselling. Eventually he moved into consultancy roles at Humberside University and then became director and company secretary of a market research company.
