About
Nigel is a dad, a keen cycling and rugby enthusiast, who has called Lower Hutt home for decades. After serving in the New Zealand Defence Force, he worked in agriculture before spending the last 15 years running his own wine export business, proudly taking quality New Zealand produce to the world.
“I’m running to bring smarter, leaner regional governance to Greater Wellington. We need better infrastructure, more efficient services, and real support for the industries that keep our region moving.
"I’ll champion practical solutions & flood protection, reliable public transport, clean water, instead of waste and grandstanding. I back local control over water assets, not another Three Waters-style bureaucracy."
