With decades of combined experience in the fastener and fixings industry, both Nicola and Sam bring valuable expertise, industry insight and long-standing customer relationships that will strengthen our capabilities and enhance the service we provide to our customers.
Nicola – Industry Expertise & Leadership
Nicola began her career in the fastener industry in 1997 after completing an NVQ in Business Development and working at the Police HQ in Arnold, Nottinghamshire. She soon moved into a role as a sales junior at a fastener distribution company and from there her career progressed rapidly.
For the past 18 years, Nicola has played a central role in developing and managing Mechfast. During this time, she has gained extensive product knowledge and built a strong network of industry contacts. She was also instrumental in broadening the company’s product range, including the supply and manufacture of both standard and special fasteners.
Sam – Over 17 Years of Fastener Knowledge
Sam’s journey into the fastener industry began in 2002 and she’s since developed technical knowledge and experience working closely with customers across various sectors. After initially completing an NVQ Level 3 in Beauty Therapy, she realised her strengths lay elsewhere and went on to work in construction before moving into fastener sales.
Sam joined Mechfast in 2008 and worked alongside Nicola for more than 17 years. Her friendly, approachable style, combined with her strong product knowledge and dedication to customer service, makes her a perfect fit for the Components Direct team.
Jet Press acquired the Mechfast business in Nottinghamshire in a move that will complement its existing operations.
Mechfast has many years of industry experience, an active customer and supplier network and a team of skilled professionals.
The integration process is being managed, with new members of the team, customers and suppliers already being successfully on-boarded.
