I have worked closely with Nigel over the last 3 months. He has impressed me with both his knowledge of the subject and his ability to be able to problem solve situations. He has taken the lead on may areas of improvement and has been an asset to the team. The way he processes his assessments and the way that he teaches within the lessons shows the passion that he has for his job and the learners, that have the pleasure of being taught by him.

Growing up in Essex back in the 1980’s, I gained my apprenticeship at a well known local plumbing and heating company. After a few years I decided to venture out and start up my own business, I spent the next 25 years building up my client base and developing my business, working with my clients on lots of different projects including small building works and refurbishments. This in turn helped me gain a wealth of construction knowledge, which I used throughout the build of my own house in 2013.
I then decided that I would like to pass on my knowledge to future generations. I joined a local technical college and started teaching advanced plumbing/ heating and gas, and working on the tools at the weekends. In the last three years I have gained level 3/4 qualifications in assessing, an IQA and a level 5 teaching qualification.
I now use my time to combine the teaching of future plumbers and working on my plumbing business. Please feel free to take a look through the website, you can contact me regarding a query also!
