My father, John Andrews, who has died aged 77, was a college lecturer in trade union studies, a dedicated parish councillor and a local historian.
He spent most of his career, until 1996, at the Oxford College of Further Education, where he taught shop stewards and health and safety representatives, helping others change the lives of working people for the better. He knew how important good health and safety was, having worked while a student on a brewer’s dray and in a jam factory.
