Nick brings a deep understanding of Caple’s operations and customer relationships, having worked at Caple for six years, progressing from his former role as field sales support manager. He outlines, “I’m excited to continue the excellent work Vito has achieved and proud to represent the Caple brand as we move forward. Looking ahead Caple’s 2026 vision is clear.
