The Nicholls group consists of two companies; Nicholls Engineering Services Ltd (NES) and Nicholls Air Systems Ltd (NAS).
NES was established in 1981 by David Nicholls and Cathy Dawtrey after they identified a gap in the market for quality and reliable waste handling and processing equipment.
David Nicholls the Managing Director has over 40 years experience in the waste reclamation industry which has benefited NES in the design, development and manufacturing of Compactors, Security Shredders, Conveyors, Balers and Material Recycling Facilities.
In 1986 David recognised there was a opportunity to offer a turnkey solution to include dust extraction and pneumatic conveying systems for the paper and cardboard industries. This saw the addition of Roger Wright as Managing Director of NAS. Roger has over 45 years of experience in the specialist areas of Dust Extraction and Pneumatic Conveying Systems and the bulk handling by air of paper, cardboard and plastics so was welcomed as a valuable member of the team.
