About Nick

Nick has spent over 25 years in the Accessibility Industry and has a Bachelor’s in Human Movement.

He founded MGAC Accessibility Consulting, now part of Jensen Hughes, and became an integral planner and technical consultant to many corporate and large event organizers, including Olympic and Paralympic bid and delivery cities.

This culminated in him winning the Silver Medal for Event Services at the Rushmans Event Awards in London. Nick is a recognized global expert in culture, master planning, consulting and education for accessibility and universal design applications.

Nick’s extensive experience has enabled him to provide accessibility and universal design advice across a diverse range of high-profile projects locally, nationally and internationally.
