For Nigel Molloy, joinery was never just a career choice, it was a calling.

After deciding that school wasn't the right fit for him, Nigel began an apprenticeship and quickly found his place in the trade. Once qualified, he set his sights on owning a business of his own. When the opportunity arose to purchase an existing joinery company, he took the leap and hasn't looked back since.

Today, Nigel Molloy Joinery specialises in beautiful kitchens and bespoke joinery solutions, earning a reputation built on quality workmanship and strong customer relationships. For Nigel, success isn't measured by the number of projects completed, but by the customers who keep coming back.

"What makes me most proud is seeing our customers happy. They come back for more work and even bring their families' work to us too."

It's that commitment to craftsmanship that continues to drive the business. Whether it's a custom kitchen or a tailored joinery solution, Nigel takes pride in seeing each project come to life.

"I love being able to look at what we've built and see what we've achieved. It's a job I genuinely enjoy."

He also jokes there are misconceptions about the industry.

"It's not as easy as they make it look on reality TV shows."

Like many small business owners, the journey hasn't been without its challenges. Nigel still remembers the nerves that came with hiring his first employee and wondering whether there would be enough work to keep them busy. Over time, those challenges became opportunities to learn and grow.

As the business has grown, having the right systems and support behind the scenes has become increasingly important. For Nigel and Wendy Molloy, taking the complexity out of payroll has meant they can spend more time focusing on the business itself.

"PaySauce takes the headache out of payroll. It saves us time to focus on manufacturing, removes the stress of changing legislation, and eliminates double-handling of files. It automates IRD compliance and gives us the freedom to run payroll from anywhere in the world, even while on holiday."

That simplicity allows Nigel and Wendy to focus on what matters most: delivering quality work for their customers and continuing to grow a business they are proud of.

For anyone considering starting a business of their own, Nigel's advice is refreshingly straightforward:

"Just do it. Make sure you have key people for advice and try to develop good systems and habits."

From apprenticeship to business ownership, Nigel Molloy Joinery is a testament to the value of craftsmanship, perseverance, and having the right support around you.
