Tried my Nash power today i purchased recently second hand and the bloody thing steers off to the right quite badly
Any ideas what's going on/how to fix?

I'd start with the general alignment. Are the rear wheels at at the same height, are they square on etc

Had a look and post but no one mentioned faulty batches
Took it apart and put back together today, I'm adamant one of the welded bars to hold wheel in place is slightly off centre causing wheel to be pointed slightly right

If a rear wheel were facing slightly to the right your barrow would be turning to the left wouldn't it?

No...If there is increased resistance on a right rear wheel due to mis alignment it will steer right.
This is how independent brakes on a tractor and fiddle brakes on off road or drift cars work.
It is easy enough to check wheel alignment using string lines, pegs and any type of ruler/tape measure.

The front wheel alignment will have the most effect so that is the first thing I would check and rectify

Surely it's easy enough to identify if it's the front or rear wheels? Lift it so the rear wheels are off the floor, and if it still pulls right, it's the front wheel. If it only does it when the rear wheels are in play, then it's the rear wheels

Good point will have to double check
I did mean front wheel bars not the rear

Find yourself a straight edge long enough to span between the front and back wheels.
Put the straight edge along the side of the front wheel then measure the distance from that line to the inside of the rear wheel that side.
Repeat for the other side and that will show your misalignment.
