Maker's bio

I’m Nige Andrews, a seasoned welder, hands-on trainer and the founder of Qualitig, a Coventry-based welding workshop. For over 30 years I’ve worked across a wide range of industries from custom one-off projects to high-volume production including producing the torch for the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham 2022. What I enjoy most is sharing my knowledge and working with people who are new to welding or coming back to it after some time away. I believe in making welding approachable, practical and enjoyable, so you can build confidence while learning real-world skills. Please do not hesitate to message me if you have any questions.

Vicky and Vlad reviewed: Full Day MIG & TIG Welding Workshop

"We recently attended a welding workshop with Nigel from Qualitig, and it was one of the best experience days we’ve ever had! We gained so much knowledge in just one day and had an incredible amount of fun along the way. Before the workshop, Nigel checked in with us to see how he could personalise the day to suit us best — we were even able to bring our own welder, which made the experience even more relevant and practical. Nigel was kind enough to allocate the entire day specifically to TIG welding, as we’d recently bought a TIG welder and wanted to gain more hands-on knowledge, along with tips for our single-spine stair project. Nigel is not only a patient and supportive teacher, but also a genuinely great person. His passion for welding and teaching really shines through, and he made us feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire session. We highly recommend Nigel—whether you’re looking to improve your welding skills or just want to try something new and exciting, this workshop is an amazing experience. Also, check out his Qualitig website to see all the different workshops Nigel offers!"

Chris C reviewed: Full Day MIG & TIG Welding Workshop

"Thank you Nige for showing me how to weld for the whole day as part of your welding workshops. I had a brilliant experience and now feel way more confident with tools in general. It's less intimidating when you are working with a pro at your own pace. Thanks for being super supportive and patient with me. The tunes you played took complete pressure away from the day and you've converted me into an ABBA fan. Can't wait to book in another day with you and work on something that I need repairing. Nige is an awesome guy and great trainer with a lot of patience and you can tell he loves what he does by the amount of care and attention he puts in to make your experience great. Plus some of his repairs he was showing me are outstanding. If you struggling with birthday or Christmas present ideas, a welding workshop should be first on your list."

Qualitig responded:

"Thank you so much Chris, it was a great having you over and just seeing you growing in confidence as you were putting welds down as soon as the first hour. And the music definitely made the day go quicker lol. Happy welding Chris and book in again when your about."
