While the history of NICHOL traces back to the Barr Brothers from 1918, its more recent history dates from the ’50s. Even In the early days, the company specialised in engraving, steel stamp manufacturing and stencil cutting. The first member of the Nichol family, Barry Nichol commenced his apprenticeship with the company in 1952 as a die-maker and letter-cutter. On Barry completing his apprenticeship, the family purchased the business. In the same year, Trevor Nichol joined the company.
