PROVENANCE AND ETHICS
Nikwax - originally for preserving hiking boots - was first produced as a commercial product in a North London flat. In 1977, at 22 years of age, Nick Brown mixed his first order with a discarded tea urn, a primus stove, a jug and materials bought from a local hardware store. The wax was then poured into tins which he silk screened by hand. Nick sold his products to the outdoor trade, driving a second hand Morris 1000 van and later, he bought an Inter Rail cards to introduce his product into Europe. Next he moved to a workshop in Clerkenwell in London and before he knew it, Nick was selling ‘the product’ to eight countries.
