Meet The Team
As Managing Director of NSF I bring a wealth of knowledge with me to lead the business forward into the future. With a background in Senior Finance, I keep an eye on the finances as well as the business. I enjoy a good murder mystery and anything Sci-Fi. I can usually be found crafting something new whilst watching the latest binge worthy series. When I’m not doing any of these things, I’m listening to my favorite heavy metal bands.

I started at NSF 45 years ago as an apprentice, with only a brief gap in 1997, and I am now Operations Director managing the day to day operations of all the departments across the factory and co-ordinating efficient production of NSF products. I also evaluate overall performance by gathering, analysing and interpreting data and metrics. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending my time going on walks and bird watching.

Started as an apprentice in 1984 when it was Lucas NSF. I left when the MBO happened and returned in 2004. Took over the engineering management functions of NSF in 2012 and was made Technical director in 2020. I enjoy hiking locally in Yorkshire. My favorite place to walk though would be the hills of Tuscany which I have been visiting yearly since 2009. Other than that, I enjoy mountain biking and reading.

I have been working on this site for over 30 years, originally for the parent company Lucas. I am 1 of the 4 original founders of NSF Controls Ltd where we led a management buyout in July 1997.
I am a season ticket holder at Leeds United. I also play golf where I am a member of a local club. I am married with 2 daughters and have a grandson, Archie who is the apple of my eye.

I joined NSF Controls in 2011 as a Commercial Administrator, my job title now is Sales Account Co–Ordinator.
Outside of work I enjoy cooking and baking, mostly celebration cakes for family and friends. I relish spending time working in my garden, although I’m not patient enough to grow produce! But most of all I love my “Granny Time” with my two wonderful granddaughters.

I have worked at NSF for 2 years, prior to that I ran my own animal feed shop for almost 15 years.
During my spare time I love to read, research my family tree and I am a member of the local history club. I have two grown up children who both became parents last year giving me the most adorable grandson and granddaughter imaginable.
