  [NEWS AND MEDIA](https://news.jetpress.com/news-and-media)   -   Welcoming Nicola and Sam to the JET PRESS and Components Direct Team [\> Back to NEWS AND MEDIA](https://news.jetpress.com/news-and-media) --- # Welcoming Nicola and Sam to the JET PRESS and Components Direct Team Added 25.04.25     ![Nicola-Sam-join-jet-press](https://news.jetpress.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Nicola-Sam.jpg?width=800&height=1105&name=Nicola-Sam.jpg) Following the recent acquisition of Mechfast Limited, we’re delighted to officially welcome two highly experienced professionals to the JET PRESS and Components Direct team – Nicola and Sam. With decades of combined experience in the fastener and fixings industry, both Nicola and Sam bring valuable expertise, industry insight and long-standing customer relationships that will strengthen our capabilities and enhance the service we provide to our customers. Nicola – Industry Expertise & Leadership Nicola began her career in the fastener industry in 1997 after completing an NVQ in Business Development and working at the Police HQ in Arnold, Nottinghamshire. She soon moved into a role as a Sales Junior at a fastener distribution company and from there her career progressed rapidly. For the past 18 years, Nicola has played a central role in developing and managing Mechfast Limited. During this time, she has gained extensive product knowledge and built a strong network of industry contacts. She was also instrumental in broadening the company’s product range, including the supply and manufacture of both standard and special fasteners.  Nicola’s leadership, dedication and in-depth knowledge are already proving to be a great asset to JET PRESS.  Outside of work, Nicola enjoys the outdoors and spends much of her free time with her horse. Sam – Over 17 Years of Fastener Knowledge Sam’s journey into the fastener industry began in 2002 and she’s since developed deep technical knowledge and experience working closely with customers across various sectors. After initially completing an NVQ Level 3 in Beauty Therapy, she realised her strengths lay elsewhere and went on to work in construction before moving into fastener sales. Sam joined Mechfast in 2008 and worked alongside Nicola for more than 17 years. Her friendly, approachable style, combined with her strong product knowledge and dedication to customer service, makes her a perfect fit for the Components Direct team. Outside of work, Sam enjoys spending time with her young family. Building for the Future We’re thrilled to have Nicola and Sam as part of the JET PRESS and Components Direct family. Their experience, dedication and customer-first approach align perfectly with our values and ambitions. As we continue to integrate the Mechfast business, we’re confident their contributions will help us deliver even greater service, expertise and product solutions to our customers across the UK and beyond. Please join us in giving Nicola and Sam a very warm welcome!
