From mixing adhesives at a small non-disclosed adhesive manufacturer in Nottinghamshire, to running his own adhesive franchise, and in more recent years, managing some of the most reputable spray adhesive brands worldwide.

Nigel qualified as a chartered accountant with KPMG in Nottingham. One of his clients was HB Fuller, an international adhesive company, who he later joined to become the UK Financial Director. When HB Fuller closed one of its facilities, Nigel joined forces with Howard Marshall to set up an aerosol filling company, specialising in adhesives. The fact that neither of them had any idea how to fill an aerosol can didn’t seem to phase them (for reasons that are unclear).

The company has grown year on year, due to quality products, admirable service levels and an honest approach to customers and suppliers. Nigel continues to play a large part of the day to day running of the business, with a desire of leading the company, brand and employees to further success.
