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.

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.
