Meet the team - Pro-Ad

Carlo Nardini / Managing Director

Carlo established Pro-Ad in March 1982 with the aim of providing creative solutions to customers’ promotional merchandise needs. Carlo lives and breathes Promotional Merchandise and he is dedicated to providing the highest quality of service and products to our clients. He is famous for his deafening sneezes and the comfort food in the form of pasta dishes he makes for the team when they’re having a challenging day.

Helen Nardini / Financial Director

Helen has supported Pro-Ad from day one. She oversees our busy Accounts Department ensuring that all our accounts are produced timely and accurately and all invoices are paid in time. Helen is a hopeless feeder bringing in all sorts of biscuits and treats for the team.

Loren Nardini / Commercial Director

The second Nardini generation is just as passionate about Promotional Merchandise as the first one! Loren has worked for Pro-Ad since 2004 but he was learning the ropes (carrying boxes, packing and filing) for many years beforehand. He is a BPMA Ambassador and helped the company achieve ISO9001.2008. Loren is a big rugby fan and he has developed strong survival skills in working in an office dominated by women.

Beverley Scott / Account Manager

Bev has been a member of the Pro-Ad team for over 17 years. She has a wealth of knowledge on promotional products and has managed numerous exciting projects. She is full of innovative ideas and always determined to find the perfect merchandise for her clients’ campaigns. Bev is a bookworm -there’s hardly any book she hasn’t read- and bakes a killer Victoria Sponge cake.

Ross Colesky / Marketing Executive

Or the South African. Ross is a recent graduate and an adopted Geordie. Passionate about marketing and sports, Ross is amazed at the promotional merchandising industry and how powerful a medium it is whilst adaptive to change. Ross's favourite form of marketing is networking and argues a few cold ones still counts.

Sharron “Double R” Evans / Finance Manager

Sharron joined the Pro-Ad team to in order to help with the Finance Department expanding demands. She is very energetic and has already offered great contribution into keeping the company’s accounts up to date. When she’s not chasing the payment of outstanding invoices, Sharron loves spending time with her family as well as taking long walks with her puppy Max.

Halle / The Labrador

Halle has been in the Pro-Ad family since 2011. A great judge of character, Halle loves cuddles and looking for exciting treasures in our bins and is always checking our pockets for dog treats.

Paul Tighe / Account Executive

Paul joined Pro-Ad as an Account Executive in order to support our Solutions Team in dealing with all our enquiries fast and efficiently. He loves the friendly atmosphere of the Promotional Merchandise industry and is mesmerised by our 4 in 1 pen. In his free time Paul enjoys going out for drinks and food with friends or family and for long walks his dog, Fudge.

Laura Nowicki / Production Administrator

Laura works in the Production department making sure that the clients are happy with their artwork, the orders are processed in time and the goods are delivered on the date agreed with the client. Based in her Hampshire home-office, Laura enjoys cocktail-making nights and cuddles with her gorgeous golden Labrador Charlie.

Lauren McKenna / Production Administrator

Lauren joined the Pro-Ad team in 2018. Without Lauren, the office wouldn't function at an optimal level as nothing goes on without her knowing. Often the first to arrive, Lauren is the 'Queen' of Spreadsheets. Lauren enjoys dealing with people and the ever-changing environment that the industry brings. Lauren loves and lives for clothes shopping and has Lepidopterophobia which is a fancy way of saying she's scared of butterflies.

Jessica Kidd / Telesales Executive

Jess is a new member of the Pro-Ad family but brings in heaps of sales experience. As a member of English Heritage Sites its fair to say Jess is a Northumberland patriot. When not closing a sale or visiting a new hidden gem in the countryside, Jess gets her excitement from good Gin and Tonics or a good Netflix serial killer documentary.

Alex Addis / Account Manager

Alex has been with Pro-Ad since 2018, known for her creative flair, Alex has produced many a stunning project. Alex is also the go-to person in the office on all things beauty products, although she tells us that even being married to a hairdresser doesn't mean you can get an appointment. When not conducting a sale, Alex finds it best to unwind by cooking, doing yoga, travelling or hanging out with friends or family.
