Born and brought up in Zimbabwe, Nick is a third generation Zimbabwean, now living in the UK, from where he has been promoting investment into Africa, with a particular focus on Zimbabwe and the greater SADC region. As a Zimbabwean farmer, he was the first chairman of the farming community’s National Environment Committee and sat on the boards of a variety of organisations, among them an agricultural training institute and a local hospital.

Over the years Nick has gained a wealth of experience around the world. He has built up a solid network in the corporate, financial and political sectors in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Commonwealth. During the course of his international and Commonwealth work, Nick has had the privilege of meeting some of the world’s leaders, including Her Majesty The Queen. Nick is a Trustee of the Commonwealth Youth Orchestra & Choir and believes that music and sport can break down international barriers for the betterment of our co-existence in a fast-shrinking global village.

For several years now – and having been fortunate enough to experience life in both developing and developed countries – Nick has become increasingly concerned about the state the world is getting into. In particular he feels passionately about the conservation and protection of our fauna and flora for future generations to come. This passion is not simply one of the heart, but it is also based on the practical reality that the human race needs the natural world in order to exist as a species. Nature is integral to mankind’s very survival and Nick’s mantra is that “If we nurture Nature, then Nature will nurture us”. To that end he is committing himself to doing what he can to help the conservation efforts of our natural world, with a particular focus on his home territory of Southern Africa.
