EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS
Based in Kent, NBC Group (NBC) is a leading construction, development
and service group with a solid reputation of delivering reliable,
competent and competitive contracting and maintenance services to
a broad range of clients in the commercial and industrial sectors.
N
BC has over 30 years’ experience in civil
engineering and is responsible for several
significant UK infrastructure developments,
having completed many high profile projects with the
top 10 Construction companies in the UK, including
some of the biggest Network Rail projects outside
of London (at Reading Station) to working today at
Hammersmith Flyover & Battersea Power Station.
With knowledgeable project teams within each of its
specialist subdivisions, NBC provides its clients with a
detailed understanding of all projects to ensure complete
fulfilment of individual customer needs.
“We have 5 different divisions: Labour Supply, Civil
Engineering, Diamond Drilling, Air Conditioning and
Training Solutions, and our project teams have considerable
knowledge in each specialist sub-division. We provide
clients and customers with detailed understanding on all
projects to ensure complete fulfilment for each of their
individual needs,” Jag Sidhu, Managing Director at NBC
Group commented.
NBC is a hands on company that strives for health and
safety excellence, and their accreditation and awards
success reflects their activities and outstanding health and
safety record.
“95% of our business is repeat business and we rely on
our reputation as a company for new work and contracts;
more often than not, new clients will approach us for
tendering for works.
“Our unblemished health and safety record and the
appointment of a full time H&S Manager who provides
ongoing support to our site teams is a testament to NBC’s
commitment to health and safety,” Jag said.
“We have our own resources and deliver the best value
projects. Our principles consist of creating excellent
working relationships, listening to customers and
exceeding their needs, aspirations and expectations,
delivering projects on time and on budget, providing
flexible procurement and risk minimisation and being both
responsible and caring when considering a safety first
attitude,” he continued.
NBC cover every industry including Water, Waste,
Highways, Utilities, Rail and Defence and are currently
working towards Oil, Gas and Nuclear markets.
“We work across the UK and have ventured into Europe
with our Air Conditioning division. Europe is a new market
we’d like to investigate in the future.”
NBC have won several awards including RoSPA Bronze,
Silver and Gold awards.
“The awards submission is quite a straight forward
process providing you have the suitable health and safety
paperwork organised for submission. We’ve won the
awards as a business rather than for a particular project.”
Jag is currently working towards a NEBOSH qualification
in Construction. He explained: “Safety starts from the top,
filters down to the bottom and is ingrained in the culture
of our business. We’ve got employees who’ve been with
us for a long time and once they start with NBC, safety is
embedded in their minds.
“We take health and safety and standards as far as
possible and it is very important that high standards are
always met. Our Directors and the Contracts Managers
have varying degrees of general knowledge but we also
proactively encourage them towards safety credentials;
with IOSH and NEBOSH qualifications for example. We also
organise 2-day & 5 day safety courses for our Supervisors.
“We must ensure that we all go home safety and work in
a safe manner. Why complicate health and safety? Keep it
simple and keep it real.”
