Andy Taylor Foundation

Andy was a pioneer of digital media in the UK and an inspiration and mentor to many who followed in his footsteps. A proud son of Rochdale, Lancashire and the North, he made his way into the media via the University of Nottingham, an early career as a lawyer and then cuttingedge digital teams at Victoria Real, Channel 4 and All3Media. In 2012, Andy co-founded Little Dot Studios. It is now one of the largest distributors of premium content on YouTube and producer of factual channels, which include the BAFTA award-winning Real Stories. Tragically, Andy died from a brain tumour in December 2020. Continuing the work Andy started and guided by his values, The Andy Taylor Foundation has been established to create high-impact programmes opening doors to untapped potential.
