Andy Duncan (born 31 July 1962) is CEO of Travelopia Holdings Limited, based in Crawley, UK.
Duncan started his career at Unilever – where he spent 17 years in a variety of senior managerial roles – before he was appointed director of Marketing, Communications and Audiences at the BBC.
In 1995 Duncan was appointed Van Den Bergh Foods business unit chairman and marketing controller for spreads and margarines.
[citation needed] In 1997 he became Van Den Bergh Foods marketing director, and between January and December 1999 he was chairman of the Tea Council.
In December 1999 he became European category director for Unilever's Foods and Beverages division, responsible for over €3 billion of turnover and around 10% of the corporation's global profits.
Duncan presided over the Celebrity Big Brother racism débacle, which provoked a record number of 45,000 complaints to Ofcom, the UK television watchdog.
Ofcom found that Channel 4 had made "serious editorial misjudgements" in its handling of incidents involving Indian actress Shilpa Shetty.
[1] Labour MP Keith Vaz, who led protests in Parliament over the issue, called for Duncan to resign.
Duncan is also a trustee of Oasis Trust, the social action charity, and was part of an advisory group for the British Museum's chairman and Director General from 2009 until 2014.
