Nick has been a regular attender of CKMA events for a number of years.  Here is what he has to say about why he accepted the nomination to join the Steering Group…

“Having personally benefitted from a first-class apprenticeship and many successful years of close working with skilled and experienced people I feel I have a responsibility to ensure that I share, in whatever way I can, my knowledge to strengthen and maintain our manufacturing capabilities locally and nationally.

After starting out with David Brown Gear Industries in 1962 I worked my way up through Industrial and Marine gear fitting and assembly into Transmission Design Estimating and Export Sales and then was invited to join the Board.

After 25 years I stepped away and established Lancereal Ltd as a UK based distributor of Power Transmission products, including gearboxes and industrial clutches.

With 37 years of continuous growth we added CNC machines to complement our capacity and offer additional products and product flexibility.  We now employ 14 staff and export 70% of our turnover.  In 2025 we completed a management buy-out with two co-directors now taking the business forward.”
