Andy Kershaw discovered his passion for building as a teenager while working on his family's housing developments. Though his twenties saw him become a professional rugby player for teams like Wasps, Saracens, and London Irish- his property obsession persisted where he managed development projects between training sessions (unknown to the coaches!)

After retiring from rugby, Andy established himself as a successful London property developer before transitioning to client-side project management. His expertise earned him Chartership with the Institute of Building in 2017—a mark of excellence in the industry. Upon being asked to deliver seminars on construction at property conferences because of his unique perspective wearing multiple hats, Andy identified a critical industry need: a construction company offering both expertise AND integrity. This realization led to the founding of Lazuli Projects.
