In 1992, Darren and Katie Nelson created Carnell Support Services Ltd, a business initially involved in the installation of high voltage electricity cables and communication services for the Highways sector.
With his entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to invest in technology, Darren grew the business into a multi-million pound service provider to the Highways and Infrastructure industries.
“Embracing collaboration and driving innovation, we developed a range of specialist products and services, such as StoneMaster and StableDrain and more recently SafetyCam and OverheadSafe. The success of these innovations elevated the Carnell brand, which now has an award winning reputation for excellence in Innovation, Collaboration and Safety.”
Darren sold Carnell Support Services Ltd in 2020, his primary focus now is to help small businesses and start-ups grow, by sharing his wealth of knowledge while offering access to vital capital investment and management support.
