We like
to get our
hands dirty.
NB: We’ll do our very best to keep
our conversations clean.
Who makes NB?
Doug Nelson
Managing Director
When he not hanging out at NB making Important Decisions, Doug loves nothing more than hanging out at his local skateboard park. Yes. At his age. If you know your half pipe from your kick flips, then it won’t be long before your any print related conversation you might make will turn into a board related chat.
Jenny Stead
Commercial Director
Travelling in from Yorkshire everyday might make you think Jenny is a bit of a Petrolhead. However, she’s just as happy at home preparing a dinner party for 6 as she is going round and around the M61.
Philip Morris
Company Secretary
With his love of musical theatre, Philip knows that there’s nothing quite like a dame. He should know too as every Christmas he puts on a frock, wig and high heels. Some years he even appears in Panto too. We know what you’re thinking…’Oh no he doesn’t! But, yes. Really. He does.
Steve Galvin
Sales Team
Steve is our very own Milk Tray Man. Rugged, sporty and outdoorsy - are just a few words he uses to describe himself. He loves to work up a sweat and push himself to his limits – on his X-box. However, his wife’s happy if she can just get him to push the mower over the lawn every so often.
Steve Robinson
Sales Team
When he’s not slaying the competition at his local quiz night, Steve can often be found with a knapsack on his back scaling the heights of Snowdonia. Don’t ask him to speak Welsh though. Not unless he’s had a few first.
Iain Bennett
Sales Team
When he’s not telling jokes, Iain loves nothing more than supporting his local football team, Burnley FC. Now it’s not often we get to use the words ‘joke’ and ‘Burnley ‘ in the same sentence…oh…wait…
John Lucas
Studio/Reprographics
When he’s not rocking out in the mosh pit to the likes of Black Sabbath, John has more sedate interests. As ‘A Friend of Astley Park’’ he looks after their website that helps them fundraise and organise activities in Chorley’s premier green space. Making Chorley Better. Thanks John.
Dave Lee
Studio/Reprographics
Dave likes to keep his motor running. He loves his motorbike and has been across Europe on many two wheeled adventures. When he’s not off biking, Dave is a lifelong Everton fan. Well someone has to be.
Diane Heywood
Production Team
We don’t often use the term Wookie Lover, but for Diane we make an exception. She’s a nerdette with a passion for all things Star Wars. Take her back to 1977 for the originals which are obviously the best. She likes them hairy and Chewbacca always gets her seal of approval.
Jeff Leach
Production Team
If you want to make Jeff an offer he can’t refuse, maybe suggest watching The Godfather. Again. It’s his favourite film. When he can be prised away from big screen, it will probably be to play golf or maybe watch his beloved Liverpool in their quest for glory.
John Howard
Production Team
John likes to think he can give Mary Berry a run for her money in the kitchen. He’s a dab hand in the kitchen and can turn his hands to just about anything. However, he does like to bake a bit of cake. Good job he’s got his gym membership to hand to burn off all of those cake related calories!
John Lawrence
Production Team
We’re not sure if John is the best one to go to for horse racing tips. “Back one that wins.” Doesn’t seem like a sure fire winning strategy. However, there’s one thing John has right; his love for local team Chorley FC. Go Magpies!
Kieran Fairhurst
Production Team
Action man, Kieran likes nothing more than going home from work and grabbing a quick nap. He might go and pick the kids up from school, but has been known to nap in the car waiting for the bell to ring. And when he gets back home? Yes. You’ve guessed it. Nap time.
Kurt Boulter
Production Team
His love of golf takes Kurt around Europe playing tournaments and winning trophies. Of course, a Hole in One is every golfers dream. Kurt is no different. He’s had one and is so confident another, that he’s actually got insurance to make sure he can pay the bar bill in the club house when it happens.
Neil Howard
Production Team
Wherever you may be in the UK, there’s a chance Neil has been there in his Mazda Bongo. With his Fishing Rod close to hand, Neil spends weekends and holidays visiting his favourite watering holes. A passionate angler, his best catch was a 20lb carp. That’s about 9kgs if you’re a millennial.
We’re really proud of our Lancashire roots. Based in Chorley, we’re minutes away from the M61, M6 and M65 giving us strong connections to every corner of the North-West and beyond.
We love Chorley and could talk for ages about this beautiful market town. However, whilst we have many local customers, who might pop in when they’re passing, we’ve got our finger on the pulse of modern technology and wherever you are, we’re up for a chat about your business and how our print can help you.
