🌟 Introducing NES Electrical Safety Awareness Week! 🌟
 
As part of our continued commitment to safety and social value work in local communities, we are proud to launch a new annual campaign focused on electrical safety and reinforcing to residents the importance of maintaining and testing domestic smoke, heat and carbon alarms systems. We cover all areas from installation, commissioning, testing and certification. 
 
During NES Electrical Safety Awareness Week 2023, we hosted a series of tool box talks with all our engineers across the course of the week. The talks covered how our engineers can better communicate to residents the importance of regularly testing the life saving equipment within their properties as they provide vital early warnings in case of a fire.

The NES team were delighted to attend the ECA Maidstone & East Kent Annual Dinner Dance on Saturday 4th November to help raise money for Dementia UK and The Electrical Industries Charity. Stuart Gibson TMIET, in his role of Vice Chairman, supported the current Chairman and team by helping with the higher and lower, raffle and Charity auction to ensure the event was a great success, raising a significant amount of money for two very important Charities.

Today is World Mental Health Day! 
 
To better understand what we as a business can do to improve our policies surrounding mental health, we took part in an interactive and engaging Mental Health Training Session hosted by Mates in Mind Charity and Peter Kelly this morning focusing on mental health in the Construction Industry in the ‘eye of the storm’ – post covid pandemic and during the cost of living crisis.

Discussions focused on how to make our strategies preventative rather than simply reactive and what we can do to further break down the stigma surrounding poor mental health. We also discussed how psychosocial risk factors are directly related to the frequency of accidents in the workplace and the importance of managing these to improve health and safety on Construction Sites.

Questions included:

🌟 How can we create a healthy workplace?
🌟 How can we control psychological risks at work?
🌟 How can we shift the emphasis to encourage men to talk about their mental health?
🌟 How can we better express ourselves and show compassion in response to a colleague conversing about their mental health?
 
A clear message we took away from the session: instead of simply supporting poor mental health and wellbeing, we need to optimise mental health and well being. #Thriving and not just #surviving.

We were delighted to recently welcome Niamh to the NES team!

Niblock’s Macmillan Coffee Morning 2023!
 
Today, the Niblock head office team donned their aprons and dusted off their mixers for our annual Bake Off Competition and Coffee Morning to support Macmillan Cancer Support. 
 
Congratulations to Jordan Jenkins and Gabrielle Wood for being named this year’s Star Bakers!

We were delighted to present Fresh Visions Charity with a cheque for £5000, following our fundraising sky dive last month!
 
In August, our fantastic team took to the skies and conquered their fears to raise money for Fresh Visions, which is the charitable arm of Southern Housing. The Charity supports children and young adults who face extreme disadvantage, providing them with a platform to develop the confidence and skill set to turn their lives around. https://lnkd.in/ePxEczRe
 
We are incredibly grateful to our team for taking on such an impressive challenge and would like to thank everyone who kindly donated to sponsor them!

We are going Yellow for Maddie Rose! 💛

Today is Maddie’s Day! The campaign began in 2022 in celebration of the life and work of Maddie Rose, an inspiring young woman who was dedicated to showcasing the wide range of aspirational careers available within the Construction industry.

We are supporting the initiative by going yellow and adopting the Maddie Rose campaign logo for the day, helping to further raise awareness and inspire young people to build a career in the sector.

Denim for Dementia 2023!
 
The Niblock head office team showed up in their denims today for our first ever Denim for Dementia event to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society on #WorldAlzheimersDay!
 
The donations will directly aid the Charity with their research into the cause, cure, care and prevention of Dementia.

Niblock Electrical Services are attending the ECA’s #ProjectNetZero Roadshow today in London at the America Square Conference Centre to join in with discussions on low-carbon and net zero and how we can fulfil the increased demands for renewable systems, together with upskilling training our team to the new ‘Electrician Plus’ model, which aims to get more electricians to upskill technically in new low carbon and renewable technologies.
