Founded as an engineering sub-contract business in 1968, NSP Engineering has now grown into one of the few remaining UK air rifle manufacturing companies, which through strategic investment in its manufacturing technology with help from machinery supplier, Ellesco, is growing its market share both in the domestic and export markets. Mailsham-based NSP Engineering started life as Organ Engineering when the present managing director, Bob Nicholls, joined forces with an old school friend Dave Organ, and his father Alf, to start a part-time sub-contract engineering business. The success of this facilitated a move to Hailsham in 1969. When Alf retired in the mid-70s and Dave moved away from engineering, two new partners came on board, these being Smith and Pickering to create the current business NSP Engineering. Smith and Pickering owned Sussex Armoury, a business supplying a variety of equipment for country pursuits, which included having a range of air rifles manufactured. Much of the subcontract work came the way of the now named NSP Engineering.
