Nigel gained his degree in Agriculture at Aberystwyth University, which enabled him to start a career in crop protection research/development with a major company. After almost 30 years, he made a career change into the Further Education sector as an administrator in the Data Department. His personal life has been very full with family commitments and other interests. He became involved with the Mityana Charity in 1997 after visiting Uganda, which was a humbling experience. Now that he is retired, his charity commitments keep him well occupied.
