About Nigel Billington

Nigel grew up in Dorset in the South of England. Leaving school at sixteen, he joined the British army in 1985, first stationed in Berlin during the latter stages of the Cold War. He witnessed first-hand the Berlin wall, the East German border guards, the patrol dogs, and the border crossing checkpoints. After leaving Berlin in 1987, Nigel had various other military postings, one of which was to South Armagh in Northern Ireland during "The Troubles". After leaving the army, Nigel tried and tested a few jobs, but eventually moved into the security and investigations world. After many years in this industry, he started his own part-time business as a private investigator but cut that short to move to South Africa, where he resides today.
