Andy Robbins
The Tobacco Manufacturers' Association used the services of a consultant called Andy Robbins, who worked for a company, organisation or campaign called 'CMA'.
Robbins attended meetings of the TMA's Campaign Group in 2000 and 2001.[1]
According to the minutes of a TMA meeting in January 2001, Robbins was helping the Tobacco Alliance manage a questionnaire that was to form the basis of a report.[2] Other minutes say CMA provided "mail support" to the TA.[3] Robbins was also part of a TMA "retailer support project" in 1999.[4]
TMA accounts show that £50,000 was budgeted for "CMA campaign support costs" for the financial year 2000-1, and a further £50,000 for the following year.[5]
Imperial Tobacco employed an Andy Robbins for 20 years between 1972 to 1992, as General Marketing Manager.[6] It is unclear if these are the same person.
