Nathan Lee Gill (born 6 July 1973) is a British politician, who is a member of the European parliament for the Wales region for the UK Independence Party, elected in 2014 and an independent member of the National Assembly for Wales, being elected in 2016.
Born in England, his family moved to Wales in the early 1980s. Educated at Ysgol David Hughes and then Coleg Menai, on leaving the latter he joined a family-owned private company based in North East England.
In March 2004 Gill founded and managed Burgill Ltd, with his mother Elaine. Registered in Llangefni, Isle of Anglesey but operating solely in Kingston upon Hull, the company provided domiciliary and home care services mainly to Hull City Council. The company employed 180 staff, mainly from central Europe (mainly Poland) and the Philippines, to which they optionally provided chargeable "bunkhouse"-style accommodation. In a later interview with the Western Mail after his election, Gill commented:
The company collapsed into administration with debts £116,000, after main bankers HSBC withdrew its borrowing facility in light of the financial crisis of 2007–08.
