Initially managing an electro-plating business - a subsidiary of a leading manufacturer servicing the Point of Sale industry - the young Nick found himself becoming the customer facing side of the business, successfully developing accounts including Monsoon/Accessorize and Fat Face.

Their established skills and continued investment ensures they are able to deliver cost-effective POS and display solutions for clients of all shapes and sizes. The recent addition of Mid West Displays has added to their manufacturing base and I believe they now have an unbeatable end-to-end offering. Wrights Plastics has a great story to tell: for almost 50 years the family-owned business has continued to grow by putting innovation and service at the core of the business. Confidence throughout the business is really high and I am looking forward to raising the Group’s profile to a range of new clients.”
