After the film `Krull` in 1981, Andrew decided to leave Shepperton Studios and the film business.
The business was now well established and so he moved the factory to Medomsley Rd, Consett, where he designed and built an impressive Reaction Injection Moulding plant to provide production for his new outlets in Berlin, Germany and Washington DC. USA.
Andrew had nothing more to do with the film industry and was unknown in that industry until 2004, when George Lucas claimed the Intellectual Property rights for Andrew`s creations on Star Wars.
That took another 9 years litigation to sort out. Andrew`s win in the Supreme Court spawned the creation of a new business to supply film memorabilia to the fans and collectors market.
