Nigel worked as a chef in a former career before he started working with adults with a learning disability.
Now his culinary  skills are used at DGT along with his other practical abilities in many areas of building, maintenance and mechanics.  He is very versatile, resourceful and enjoys working with our people.

Nigel organises our daily activities and keeps DGT looking spick and span!
