Nigel Martin Smith was the manager of British Pop Band, Take That from 1990-1996.

Martin-Smith had noticed that, Madchester notwithstanding, the British pop charts looked flat. There hadn't been a decent home-grown teen sensation since Bros went weird, and the only act in that field generating any excitement were US imports New Kids on the Block. So what if you took a group of amenable British boys next door, and got them to sing some proper pop, and set out to offer proper entertainment with their live gigs? The best[citation needed] ideas are always the simple ones.

In 1990, Martin-Smith assembled a group of five working class boys from the North West: Gary Barlow, a 19 year-old from Cheshire who had been singing and playing the organ on the northern club circuit for five years; Howard Donald, 21, a vehicle painter who also DJ'd, danced and modelled; Jason Orange, 19, a painter and decorator who had danced on a TV programme called The Hitman and Her; Mark Owen, 16, a former child model and Manchester United trialist, and Robbie Williams, a 16-year old body popper from Stoke on Trent.
