Andy Smith joins Auxillias as a regulatory consultant

Bringing two decades of experience in legal and compliance

Auxillias, the specialist legal and compliance firm serving the consumer, motor and asset finance sectors, announced today that Andy Smith will be joining the team as an independent regulatory consultant in June 2025.

 Andy, a qualified lawyer, has spent over 20 years in senior in-house roles, specialising in regulatory investigations, s166 reviews and authorisations. He has held leadership positions at Likewize, Auden and The Money Shop, gaining deep expertise in legal, compliance and risk management across financial services.

 Andy’s career has been shaped by his ability to blend commercial, compliance and legal insight. With an executive MBA under his belt, he takes a well-rounded approach to solving complex regulatory challenges.

 “It’s all about helping people through difficult journeys,” Andy says. “Many forget the human side of business - our work isn’t just legal, it’s emotional too. I’m excited to work with a great team to support clients with clear, practical solutions.”

 Jo Davis, CEO of Auxillias, commented: “Andy has a wealth of experience in regulatory matters and understands the pressures businesses face. His ability to combine legal expertise with commercial thinking makes him a great fit for our team. We are delighted to have him on board.”

 Andy’s appointment follows a series of strategic hires at Auxillias to strengthen its regulatory and compliance expertise. Shannon Faulkner joined in March 2025, Paul Godsmark in September 2024, and Frank Brown in February 2024 - each bringing valuable industry knowledge to support the firm’s continued growth.

 Away from work, Andy enjoys hiking, spending time with family and exploring the outdoors near to Chester where is based.  His appointment reinforces Auxillias’ commitment to providing top-tier legal and compliance support for businesses navigating regulatory change.
