Nick Cragg

Trustee at Astrea Academy Trust

A graduate in engineering from Lougborough University, Nick spent almost 30 years in the steel industry with a career progressing through to a number of business leadership positions based in the UK and subsidiary board appointments overseas. On leaving the steel industry at the end of 2006, Nick formed his own consultancy company and worked mainly in N. America in the oil & gas sector on business improvement and interim management projects. He later joined his main client, Wellstream International, a UK based manufacturer of flexible subsea flowlines and risers, as V-P Operations. After the Company was acquired by GE Oil & Gas in 2011, he ultimately became Global Sourcing & Capex Director, working between the UK and Brazil. Nick left GE in late 2013 to re-start his consultancy company where he still undertakes assignments whilst making time to pursue other interests. He is a keen rugby supporter but his annual indulgence is skiing. A Freeman of the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire since 2001, Nick is currently Senior Warden. He is married to Liz; they have 3 grown up children.
