Mike Anderson

Mike Anderson was a client of Robert Sugden who considered signing a contract with his haulage company, Home James Haulage, and an old acquaintance of Charity Dingle.

In March 2019, Robert brought Mike to The Woolpack. Charity recognises Mike from her Tate Haulage days and warns that Robert better be on his A-game as Mike takes a bit of handling. After Robert makes a quip about Charity doing better, Charity approaches Mike and manages to sweet talk him much to Robert's amazement. Robert believes Charity could be an asset to Home James Haulage and strikes up a deal with her to help secure the contract with Mike for 15%.

The next day, Mike arrives at the pub for his meeting with Charity. As the meeting goes on, Charity struggles to get anywhere with Mike, who asks for figures and information about existing clients. He then asks Charity to accompany him to the Sustainability Awards, after establishing Charity doesn't have a "fella". However, she fails to mention she has a fiancee, Vanessa Woodfield, who gets more and more frustrated with Charity's flirtatious tactics. She agrees and Mike leans in for a kiss but Charity reaches for her glass and takes a drink. At the Awards, Vanessa overhears Mike telling an acquaintance how Charity got one over on him back in the day and thinks he didn't notice, so he's been spinning her a tale about giving her a haulage contract and got her to hand over lots of information about Home James Haulage. He explains he's starting his own logistics company so he gets to repay an old favour and with a bit of luck get rid of the competition. Vanessa informs Charity what she's just heard and Charity vows to kill Mike but Vanessa insists they're going to be cleverer than that. Vanessa gets her hands on Mike's car keys and searches his car for the files. However, when she spots Mike approaching she panics and speeds away in his car, and later ends up running the car into a field.

Vanessa, Robert and Robert's husband Aaron Dingle, manages to get the car back and retrieve the files, however, Mike catches them when they attempt to return his mud-covered car to his house. Aaron then accidentally let slip that Vanessa is a vet, and Mike insists they're seriously going to regret this. The next day, Mike comes to see Vanessa as she's heading off to work questions if she's a good vet. She then reveals Mike races dogs and needed a vet on call. She is also forced to admit she's agreed to look after his 12 dogs for free indefinitely.
