We recently had the pleasure of returning to London South East Colleges to deliver presentations to Level 2 Electrical students, introducing our NVQ Level 3 Electrical Installation apprenticeship programme.

Following this, we took part in a Mock Interview Day, giving students the opportunity to experience a real interview environment and build their confidence. We were thoroughly impressed with the standard of candidates, and it’s great to see that some have already been put forward for our apprenticeship scheme.

As a result of the success of this session, we were also invited back to support a separate Skills Bootcamp in Multi-Trade Construction, where we delivered additional mock interviews to another group of learners.

It is incredibly rewarding to support individuals as they take their next steps into the industry, and we look forward to continuing our involvement.

Delivering Reliable Electrical Upgrades for the Education Sector

Our team recently delivered a comprehensive programme of electrical upgrades at Riverside Primary School, carefully scheduled around the academic calendar to minimise disruption to learning.

The project has successfully modernised the school’s electrical infrastructure, creating a safer, more efficient environment for both staff and pupils.

Scope of works included:
• Rewire and installation of new LED lighting/Emergency lighting system & controls
• Rewire of the small power installation
• Installation of 4no. Dual tariff communal distribution boards and associated submains
Installation of new main intake position, including TPN Panel board, Busbar and switch fuses
• Formation of fire-rated enclosures for electrical systems
• External lighting installations to improve site safety

We were pleased to attend the Maidstone Apprenticeship Fair on 6th March at Maidstone Leisure Centre. It was a great opportunity to meet hundreds of local secondary school students and speak with them about the electrical apprenticeships we offer, as well as the career opportunities available for young people interested in starting a career in electrical work.

We enjoyed discussing the pathways into the trade and helping students learn more about the benefits of starting a career through an apprenticeship.

As Women in Construction Week comes to a close, and with International Women’s Day approaching on Sunday, we have been reflecting on the fantastic women across Niblock Building Contractors and Niblock Electrical Services.

We are proud to recognise and celebrate the talented women within our teams whose skills, dedication and hard work contribute to the successful delivery of our projects every day. Their commitment and expertise play an important role in strengthening our business and the wider construction industry.

Thank you to the women in our teams, and across the sector, for the valuable contribution you make.
