Nicholas founded his first agency aged 26, some 28 years ago! At the time, it was the region’s first internet services and web design agency, and he grew it to employ over 30 people.

Since this time, he has been constantly involved in the ever-evolving landscape of agency life, having experience ranging from the very technical, through to all things digital marketing, PR, and communications. This broad experience, coupled with his ‘battle scars’, earned from years of being on the cutting edge, enables him nowadays to take a very rounded and pragmatic view of a brief and know instinctively what will work and what will not.

Whilst the agencies that Nick has been involved with, have had national, regional, and local focuses, throughout his entire career, he has been an extremely active participant in the local business community. Nick hosted the networking group, Midsummer Breakfast Club, until he stepped back five years ago to become the Chair of Milton Keynes Business Leaders Partnership, which is widely considered to be the region’s premier business membership organisation.

In addition, he is the lead organiser of the Milton Keynes Business Achievement Awards, which last year saw its tenth invocation and hosted over 770 businesspeople all celebrating the wonderful businesses that Milton Keynes has. Nick is also a long-term vice president of the MK Community Foundation, the Business Representative on the Council of Governors at MK University Hospital, a trustee at The Safety Centre, sits on the MK Business Council.
