Andy & Cerys
James Pastor, Crediton Congregational church
Pete Clayton, Church Leader
Andy has a natural gift to support, encourage and challenge leaders. He asks perceptive questions and is able to quickly get to the root of what is going on. His leadership support to me over the last few years has always been timely and invaluable. On top of that he is full of grace, down to earth and a thoroughly nice bloke! He is able to graciously challenge you on something you don’t particularly want to hear and somehow you go away feeling encouraged and feeling blessed. I wholeheartedly recommend you spend some time with him at Jubilee leadership.

Working with Andy was like being in a hot house for development. His careful questions and gentle but stretching challenges have helped me to grow and be better

I’ve known Andy for over 25 years, since I first started as a church minister/leader. I greatly value his teaching, wisdom, insights, honesty and humour. I have known the benefit of carving out time to spend time in his company. Jubilee Leadership now makes it possible for many more leaders to do the same.

Everything I see in my travels across the UK tells me Jubilee Leadership’s sanctuary and academy for leaders is sorely needed. Everything I know of Andy and Cerys tells me they are just the right people to lead it.
Roz Stirling, Cleopas
It has been my privilege to know and work with Andy Hickford for over 30 years during which time he has been invited to Northern Ireland on countless occasions because of our great respect for his ministry as an outstanding biblical thinker and communicator. In particular his capacity to discern the contextual significance of the teaching of scripture to current issues has been a much needed gift as he has ministered at church leaders conferences, retreats and forums for leaders of all ages and backgrounds. His is deeply respected and valued by those who have come to know him and benefited from his wisdom, compassion and grace’

Cerys
Cerys is famous for once publicly saying in church ‘Andy is a very gifted man – it’s just such a shame none of those gifts are any use to me whatsoever!’
When not being amused by Andy, she is equally as passionate about supporting leaders and their families and loves providing hospitality as a key part of what JL offers.
Andy & Cerys
Andy and Cerys have been married for 33 years and have 3 grown up children. They know well the privileges of leading a church family, but they also know it comes with a price tag.
Together they are passionate about supporting church leaders in all the seasons of ministry and believe deeply in the transforming potential of ‘the pursuit of truth among friends.’
They look forward to hosting individuals and teams at their home as soon as renovations are complete!
