Niblock Managing Director Celebrates 40 Years
Managing Director Celebrates 40 Years at Niblock!
“I feel a great sense of pride looking back at my 40-year career at Niblock. I have witnessed many changes within the company and cherish all the memories I have gained along the way. Over the years, we have been involved in a variety of exciting contracts, one highlight that has stayed with me includes designing the first office for the Premier League at the FA’s 15 Lancaster Gate.
I remember the early days clearly, when polaroid cameras were used for surveys because the 35mm film in cameras took 3 days to develop and print!
However, despite the vast changes, I am proud to say that the ethos that guided Niblock from the beginning continues to be a driving force today. We have been fortunate to have a loyal and dedicated workforce both on our sites and at head office. Multiple generations of families work together within our team and we are proud that so many of our employees have chosen to build their own careers with us and also recommend the company to their sons and daughters, which is a testament to the culture within Niblock.
Niblock have a bright future ahead thanks to our dedicated team, strong values and commitment to innovation and I am confident we will continue to make a positive impact within the construction industry.”
– Martin Waters

10 Years of NES
This month, we are celebrating Niblock Electrical Services’ 10 Year Anniversary, following the company’s launch in February 2013.
Over the past decade, we have been involved in a diverse and challenging range of exciting projects.
We would like to thank all of our Clients for their continued support over the years and our fantastic team for their commitment and drive to enhance our service standards.
150 Years
“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

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.”
“Tyrell was very professional. We were very happy with the service we received from Niblock, Tyrell completed the test and fixed some electrical issues we have had in the property for a while.”
We are proud to provide a high level of customer service throughout our contracts, in residential and commercial properties alike.
Maddie Rose Day
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!
