Experience


Joined NTR in 2008 as a 15 year old apprentice, as part of our investment in the future of engineering and of the business. Sam qualified with flying colours from his 4 year Precision Engineering Apprenticeship and quickly moved into a management role.

As Ops Director, Sam not only enjoys running the manufacturing facilities, but also relishes the responsibility of working with the while NTR Team in the way he experienced as a youngster joining the business. Sam believes in providing quality engineering to the exacting standards to meet customer needs.

Personal


Sam is a self-confessed petrolhead, and is genuinely inspired by the precision engineering involved in Formula 1. As a result, brings his own engineering skills into play for the maintenance of his own cars and bikes. Family is very important to Sam and he brings that same ethos to NTR, creating a strong bond with his team. For his sins, Sam has been a Leeds United fan for too many years.
