Andy Findlay, Founder & Director of Training
Born and raised on his family farm in Aberdeenshire, Andy Findlay developed a lifelong passion for the agricultural sector. He began his career with an farming apprenticeship on Dunnecht Estates in Aberdeenshire, gaining valuable hands on skills and experience before spending several years as a self-employed farm contractor.
In his late twenties, Andy moved into training, becoming a certified Lantra Instructor and later teaching Agricultural Mechanisation at SRUC Craibstone for seven years. He now specialises in delivering practical, hands-on Lantra accredited training in tractors, forklifts, ATVs, and 4x4s, and has built a strong reputation for running engaging, fun and impactful tractor driving courses for 13–15-year-olds. Combining his practical expertise with a solid background in education, Andy established Findlay Training, now recognised as a trusted provider of Lantra-accredited courses.
