Nick Evans

Nick is Managing Director of EvaBuild Ltd, an award winning Construction and Civil Engineering Company based in mid Wales. Founded in 2011, the business has grown rapidly to amount a turnover of nearly £3 million in its third year of trading, and employs 16 full time staff. "Our most notable accolades to date have been winning the Powys Business Awards and South Wales Chamber of Commerce “Business start-up” categories in 2013."

Nick’s academic background began with failure at secondary school. This was purely due to lack of engagement. He then moved onto technical college and studied construction, a subject matter that he found enthralling and exciting. At this early stage it became apparent that if learning was enjoyable, then it can become inspiring and most importantly motivating! Following college Nick went to university to study civil engineering. Continual professional development and learning is deemed imperative and he currently studies at Cardiff Met on a course designed for business leaders within Wales with the capacity to grow their business and make a positive contribution to the economy of Wales.

Nick’s working career began on a predominantly freelance basis which allowed him to gain experience in different sectors of the industry. He soon progressed into a managerial position and thrived on the responsibility of being able to have personal input into directing and managing projects. His career to date has included trouble shooting, mentoring new start-up companies, managing SME’s, and now managing and owning his own companies.

His mentoring strengths include being able to foresee the challenges of fast growth, and helping to plan accordingly to overcome the pitfalls. His open and dynamic leadership style will help nurture business leaders into embracing the challenges that they will face in the future, and hopefully assist in motivating them towards achieving their ultimate goals.
