Andrew Miles – Biography

 

Andrew Miles has been an explorer and television producer for over twenty-five years. His vast experience of travelling to the world’s remotest and most hostile environments, and organising numerous successful extreme expeditions, has given him a unique position and perspective in enabling him to establish World First Expeditions.
