The Niblock team was delighted to take part in the Peabody Charity Golf Day at Woburn Golf Club, raising vital funds for the Peabody Community Foundation.

The Foundation supports children and young people through programmes that create opportunities, build confidence and skills, and help them reach their potential.

It was great to have John Bull and Robert Hardy BEng (Hons) MSc MIET from Peabody join us on our team for the day.

A huge thank you to Peabody for organising such a fantastic event which raised over £140,000, and to all those who came together to support such an important cause.

As part of our social value commitment for the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom we recently welcomed 18-year-old local resident Taferrel for a work experience placement.

With plans to begin an apprenticeship in the construction industry this September, the placement gave Taferrel the opportunity to gain valuable insight into the industry and the different career paths available.

During his time with us, Taferrel was shown around site, introduced to our business and projects, learnt more about the importance of social value within construction, and received one-to-one support to develop and strengthen his CV.

We are proud to play a part in supporting the next generation of construction talent and helping local young people take their first steps into the industry.

Team Niblock had a fantastic day at the Peabody Charity Dragon Boat Race at Surrey Docks, joining partners and peers from across the sector for an event that brought together teamwork, community and a shared purpose.

Racing traditional 40ft dragon boats, we were proud to be part of an event raising vital funds for the Peabody Community Foundation, which works with communities to create opportunities, support young people, strengthen neighbourhoods and help people build brighter futures.

While we didn’t quite make the podium this time, the energy, teamwork and team spirit on display made it a win in all the ways that matter.

A brilliant day all round, and a reminder that strong partnerships are built through shared experiences as much as shared goals.

We are pleased to welcome Sophie and Rory to Niblock Electrical Services as our newest electrical apprentices.

Both are due to begin college in September. In the meantime, they will be gaining valuable hands-on experience on site, working alongside our team and developing the practical skills essential for their careers.

At Niblock Electrical Services, we are committed to investing in the next generation and supporting young talent as they progress within the industry.
We look forward to supporting Sophie and Rory on their journey with us.

We were delighted to attend the JTL National Awards 2026 at Plaisterers’ Hall today to support Maddie, our second-year apprentice who was a finalist for the Rising Star of the Year Award.

After being named Southern Region Rising Star of the Year last month, Maddie progressed to the national finals, where she represented both our business and the region alongside some of the most talented apprentices from across the UK.

Reaching the finals is an outstanding achievement and reflects the hard work, dedication and commitment she has shown throughout her apprenticeship.

We are incredibly proud of everything Maddie has accomplished and look forward to seeing her continue to develop and succeed in her career.

Congratulations, Maddie!

Many congratulations to Alfie Hull on completing his NVQ Level 3 – an excellent achievement and a proud moment in his career journey.

Throughout his apprenticeship, Alfie has shown great determination and a strong work ethic, always keen to develop his abilities and take on new challenges. We are delighted to see him succeed!

Our second-year apprentice, Maddie Pinn, has been awarded the JTL Rising Star of the Year Award for the Southern Region in recognition of her outstanding potential, evidenced through consistently high-quality practical and theoretical work, as well as her strong dedication and commitment to her apprenticeship. Following her finalist interview yesterday, she attended the Southern Regional Staff Conference today to receive her trophy.

Maddie will now progress as a finalist to the JTL National Awards 2026, taking place at Plaisterers’ Hall in June.

We are incredibly proud of Maddie’s achievement and wish her every success in the national finals.

The countdown is on for CIH Housing Brighton 2026!

The Niblock team will be there on 6th May for a day of insights, conversations and the chance to connect with both new and familiar faces from across the housing sector.

If you are attending and would like to catch up with the team, feel free to reach out.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

We are delighted to celebrate Alex’s fantastic achievement in earning his NVQ Level 3 and 2391 qualifications! Completing these milestones is a clear demonstration of his skill, determination, and growth throughout his apprenticeship.

Alex has not only built technical expertise but has also shown resilience, adaptability, and a genuine enthusiasm for learning – passing his apprenticeship in only 3 years and 6 months. Even more impressively, within just six weeks of passing, he went on to achieve his 2391 course and exam, further showcasing his drive and commitment to progressing in his field.

His ability to take on challenges and continually improve has set a strong example for his peers and highlights the value of hands-on experience in developing real-world skills.

Achievements like Alex’s show how apprenticeships can open doors, providing the foundations for a rewarding career while shaping the next generation of skilled professionals. We are proud of his progress and look forward to seeing where his dedication and talent take him next.

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.
