Stancold Food Projects is built on a foundation of extensive industry expertise. Continuing that tradition, we’re excited to welcome Nathan Mustoe to the team as our new Project Manager.
Nathan may be new to Stancold, but he’s no stranger to the whitewall partitioning and cold storage sectors, having entered the industry at just 16 years old!
After leaving school, Nathan took his first step into the industry by working in the storeroom of a company that manufactured and installed cold store areas for food and drink facilities. He soon advanced to the manufacturing team, assembling the critical doors and panels for these installations. From there, he jumped into an on-site role working in facilities across the UK food and beverage industry.
Of his extensive industry experience, Nathan explains, ‘Starting on the tools helps you deal with all aspects of a project once you find yourself working in a project management role. I am well-suited to manage our relationships with installers and the various subcontractors we work with because I’ve been where they are.’
Following travels through Thailand and Australia, Nathan wasted no time rejoining the industry, taking up several project management and surveying roles. He has become deeply experienced in managing client relationships and delivering successful facility fit-outs.
‘While clients typically have a clear vision at the start, that vision can shift as the project unfolds,” Nathan notes. “I really enjoy the journey of working alongside them to ensure they have a facility that suits their needs perfectly.’
With all this valuable industry experience, it’s no wonder that Nathan was a perfect fit for the Stancold team!
As he’s integrated into the Stancold Food Projects team, Nathan has appreciated the forward-thinking nature of our project management approach. ‘Stancold’s embracing of top-tier project management software and well-structured procedures is so refreshing,’ he says. ‘With these tools at our disposal, we are perfectly positioned to deliver high-quality facilities for the UK’s food and drink industry.’
Outside of work, Nathan enjoys sports — especially football and golf. This shared enthusiasm is one of the reasons he blends so well with our team! He’s spent time coaching for an FA Level 2 team and has been a Manchester United supporter since his youth. In the past year, he and his 6-year-old son have gotten involved in Taekwondo, gradually progressing towards a yellow belt.
“I only got involved because it was the next activity my son wanted to try, but we both enjoy it a lot!” Nathan shares. “At that age, it’s vital for kids to explore different hobbies to figure out what they really enjoy. I’m hoping golf will eventually catch his eye!”
