Christopher Nieper, managing director, of David Nieper Ltd was awarded an OBE in the New Year’s Honours List 2020, for services to UK Manufacturing and Apprenticeship Development. David Nieper is a designer, manufacturer and retailer of luxury women’s fashion established in Alfreton, Derbyshire in 1961 and which sells direct to consumers.

Alfreton is a former coal-mining town, which following the closure of the mines has suffered a raft of social issues, unemployment and poor education. It is a town illustrative of Britain’s forgotten communities, often referred to by the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson. From early in his career, Christopher Nieper has been passionate about British manufacturing and rebuilding prosperity in his hometown of Alfreton and has made it a personal mission not to turn his back on his local community, but instead to work tirelessly to support, develop and enrich community life by creating local jobs and developing skills and education.
