Andrew Alexandrou has been a tiler for most of his life. He is the middle son of five brothers of a first generation Greek family. His father ran a fish shop in the 70s and most of his brothers have all run their own small businesses. He has now decided to open a fish and chip shop. He is being supported in getting his shop up and running by his younger brother, Nick, a former taxi driver, who used to work in their father's fish shop.
