“The Strength of a Family, the Strength of Our Business”

The old adage that a company is only as good as its staff is never more true than at Niblock. As many of you will know, we take pride in the fact that we have an average tenure of employment amongst our management staff of 17 years!

However, Niblock is also very much a family business. In fact, this year, five pairs of relatives celebrate 150 years of employment between them. Martin, our Managing Director and his daughter Rebecca (Digitial Marketing Manager).

Kevin, our Director and his daughter Brooke (Contract Planner). Marcus, our Senior Contracts Manager and his son Myles (Project Manager). Max, our Contracts Manager and his son Max (Site Supervisor). Steve, our Senior Surveyor and his son William (Trainee Surveyor).

We are enormously proud to have these family connections and the collaborative ethos that is maintained throughout the company.

Customer Service Week 2022
 
This week-long celebration of customer service is an opportunity to reflect on our achievements and commitment to providing service excellence to our Clients and Residents.
 
Our average score in a recent resident survey was 9.8/10 for the speed and quality of works carried out in residential properties and for the reliability and helpfulness of our engineers. 

Alongside these excellent statistics, we have received pleasing feedback from Residents regarding our fantastic team:
 
“Scott is a massive asset to Niblock Electrical, very well-mannered and clean when working.”
 
“Niko was very professional whilst completing the electrical safety test and should get employee of the month.”
 
“Amine was very professional and answered all the questions we had for some issues we had with our electrics, very happy with the service we received.”
 
“Very happy with the electrical safety test that was completed, George was very professional and thorough.”

We are proud to provide a high level of customer service throughout our contracts, in residential and commercial properties alike.

Today, we are showing our support of the Maddie Rose Campaign by adopting its logo for Maddie’s Day!

The campaign aims to shine a spotlight on the vast range of careers with the construction industry and inspire diverse, young talent to access these opportunities.

The initiative was set up in memory of Maddie Rose Hollamby, an inspirational young woman who was dedicated to showcasing careers within the sector and highlight their benefits to other young people, so that they could develop through it as she had herself and reach their full potential.

To honour Maddie’s legacy, the CYT has developed a Hidden Careers Programme in partnership with the wider construction community, which aims to encourage young people and help them access opportunities across the sector.

We actively supported this programme by providing a relatable role model to attend one of their school sessions, at Oasis Academy South Bank, and saw firsthand how much of an impact it can have on the school children.

We invite others to similarly adopt the logo and ‘turn yellow’ for the day to help keep Maddie’s legacy alive!

“My career at Niblock Electrical started 3 years ago when I joined as a testing engineer. Through training, I completed my SMSTS qualification which enabled me to assume responsibility for all aspects of the health, safety and wellbeing of all persons on site. I was given the opportunity to step up to the role of site manager for one of our large University clients, and with the experience I gained in this role, and through guidance from senior management, I was promoted to my current role as Assistant Project Manager.
 
I am very grateful for the large amount of trust put in me which has enabled me to reach my current position.
 
Working with a team you respect makes a challenging job much more manageable. I hope to repay the trust shown in me for many years to come.” Matt Cunningham.
