Nigel, can you tell us a little about your background and what attracted you to joining Boss Plant Sales Ltd?
I’ve spent over 40 years working within the construction and plant machinery industry, working in various sectors with roles such as plant operator, engineer , service manager, working on a production line building the machinery, then in to sales for which this is my 25th year. Since then I have been building relationships with customers across the south and helping businesses invest in reliable equipment that supports their growth. Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with plant hire companies, contractors, owner-operators, and construction professionals, so I understand the importance of dependable machinery and strong aftersales support.
What attracted me to Boss Plant Sales was the company’s reputation, ambitious growth plans, and customer-focused approach. The business has built an excellent name within the industry and represents some of the strongest manufacturers on the market, so it felt like a fantastic opportunity to be part of the next stage of growth.
