Andrew Miller is a very busy man.

As well as having a full-time job as an events manager in the dental sector, since April the 44-year-old from Glasgow's South Side is spending his spare time interviewing hundreds of other potential volunteers for Glasgow 2014.

The irony of the situation - volunteers interviewing volunteers - isn't lost on Andrew, but he believes it's the perfect way to recruit the right mix of people to welcome the world to Glasgow and fulfil the key roles that will ensure the Games run as smoothly as possible.

No one who watched the London 2012 Olympics, either in person at the Olympic Park or on TV, could forget the fantastic contribution made by the thousands of Games Makers in their distinctive pink and purple outfits; indeed their genuine, unbridled enthusiasm provided some of the most enduring images of the Games.

This enthusiasm is what inspired Andrew to get involved, as well as the experience he gained in recruiting Scottish volunteers for the London Games. He is one of 300 Frontrunners, a special volunteer force specifically set up to recruit the other 15,000-strong army of volunteers.

"I'm a huge fan of the Olympics and the Commonwealth Games, so I had to get involved," says Andrew, who is originally from Nairn. "Glasgow is such a vibrant city and the people are so, so friendly. I honestly think we can make this the best Games ever."

Like the other Frontrunners, Andrew has been amazed by the diversity of the people he's interviewing - and the commitment they've already shown to Glasgow 2014.

"I'm absolutely blown away by the standard of the applicants," he says. "We've had people who volunteered in London and want to do it all over again, we've had people who have never volunteered for anything in their life before.

"We've had elderly people from the East End who see their community changing and want to play a part, and young people coming in to be interviewed in their school uniforms. One girl I interviewed was only in her early 20s but had already fundraised across the world and knew 15 languages. One woman had just finished her shift as a dinnerlady and was so full of enthusiasm.

"We've even had people flying all the way to Glasgow from Australia - and that's just for the interview. It's fantastic, and really humbling."

He admits the interviews themselves can be emotional. "Sometimes the applicants end up in tears as they talk about how much it means to them to volunteer - if they do, I usually end up crying too! And we often end up laughing during an interview.

"I suppose the most important thing for us, as interviewers, is to give people the chance to really tell us what they can do for the Games.

"That's the advice I'd give to anyone who is coming in for an interview - just be yourself and tell us what you can do."
