At first, when I was introduced to Nicolas [Factory’s 311 creative director] it was tricky for me to pitch his origins. He had an accent of ‘worldliness’- it was essentially British but it was a mixture of everything. This made sense when I discovered he moved around a lot when he was a kid, mainly due to his parents work.
He was born in Fleetwood: “A nice little seaside village”, he affirms. Eventually, he ended up in a place called Bolton, where he spent the last three years of high school. From here, Nicolas felt life was getting too claustrophobic: “It was a place with a small mentality and soon my brain grew too big for it”, he explains. But he took the initiative to move to Manchester, where he stayed for a few years before fleeing off to Ibiza for a year. This was the catalyst to his travels: after there he headed over to Palm, Miami, Marbella, Madrid and Dubai and then back to Manchester. Having seen it all, he now lays his hat in London.
Nick the self- taught ‘contrarian’ rejected further education to make things transpire through his bold determination and hard work: “I had good experience in sales. So, when I was ready I combined the two”.
From a young tender age Nick has had a deep interest in photography and design. Today, this has made him exceed into various professions from organising events, promotional work, and real estate to selling software.
So, what does the future have in store for you in regards to project collaborations with NINETEEN74? “After the success of ‘London’s Calling’ my agency wanted to take on a project of its own. With great connections with LA…there’s no better place to do it!!”-Nick explains with an enthusiastic tone. “It gives us another chance to collaborate with NINETEEN74.COM and show the world what we can do and to get a tan, of course!!”.
