LEADING driveway company Oltco has launched a franchise in Northwich.

Nick Evans will take the reins, delivering resin driveway solutions including innovative eco-friendly 'Recycle Bound' to the town and surrounding area.

Nick, who has almost 30 years' experience in the hospitality industry including at pubs, Whitbread, and franchises including Pizza Hut and KFC, says the new venture is an exciting one.

He said: ”After 29 years in the hospitality industry, I decided it was time for a new venture.

"After meeting with Oltco’s sirectors, Tom and Johnny, and finding out more about Oltco, I quickly realised that my personal values and ethos were totally in line with Oltco’s ethos to feel good about the work that they do and the decisions they make.

"I am so excited to be joining the Oltco family which is made up of a team of experts across the UK and to be bringing these high-quality products to Northwich and the surrounding areas.

"With specialists working across areas including Blackpool, Bath, Lancaster, Ipswich, Colchester and Cornwall, I am proud to be working alongside an amazing team with a range of skills and expertise that complement each other to deliver excellence.

"I cannot wait to grow the business and build up a team of trained experts to work alongside me to help transform spaces and deliver outstanding results.”

Recycle Bound is the world’s first recycled driveway solution, made from waste plastic whereby each square metre of Recycle Bound consists of the equivalent of 3,000 plastic straws.

Aside from driveways, the company also caters for pathways, pool surrounds, balconies, carparks and other outside spaces.

Oltco directors Johnny Pearce and Tom Stringer have heaped praise on Nick,

Tom said: “When we met Nick, we had an instant gut feeling that he was the perfect fit for our ethos and culture that we’ve spent 15 years building and this was a feeling we couldn’t ignore.

"We are so pleased that we went with our gut and welcomed Nick to the family and look forward to seeing what the future holds for Nick and Oltco.”
