Founder & Managing Director
Nick started in the industry as a Commercial Trainee for Satchwell Controls (remember them..?) in 1985, who were at that time, one of the UK market leaders in building controls and the still relatively new, Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS).From the literal ‘drawing board’ he progressed to technical systems design, with roles such as Project Manager, Technical Sales Engineer and Regional Sales Manager with later similar roles with Johnson Controls and Sauter Automation.
It was whilst working with M&E Consultants developing their BEMS & Controls specifications (FOC) that Nick realised there was lack of specialist BEMS & controls knowledge in the consultancy sector with a heavy reliance placed on manufacturers and systems houses to carry out the design. This often resulted in a conflict of interest.
Seeing an opportunity to ‘Break the Mould’ (our original tag line) Nick founded NDA Consulting in 2002. The aim was to provide independent best of breed, unbiased technical and commercial advice as well as a full range of design and support services for our customers – some of which have stayed with us since the start! Since then, technology has changed the industry beyond recognition with Smart Buildings and IoT, but our quality specialist consultancy services continue to add un-told value to our client projects and portfolio of buildings and sites.
