NMC launches new specialist
coatings business service
Surfacing, drainage and
civil engineering firm, NMC
Group has launched a
Specialist Coatings service
bringing new expertise in
commercial outdoor ground
applications. The additional
service will bolster the
Group’s leading position in
providing turnkey solutions
for outside surfacing
requirements.
NMC Specialist Coatings introduces
innovative and sustainable solutions for
waterproofing, street art and aesthetic
asphalt for roads, car parks, walkways and
other public spaces. It will open significant
new opportunities for NMC where the
company can extend its offer to existing,
but also new clients.
This investment responds to a growing
market from both existing and new NMC
customers with multi storey and roof level
car parking, offering more durable and
watertight resins and mastic asphalt using
state of the art technology. It also offers new
capabilities in decorative surface printing
through pre-formed graphics and imprinted
38
patterns for creative paving as a more
cost-effective alternative to block paving.
The aesthetic asphalt application responds to
requirements for more bespoke and attractive
applications for public spaces and walkways
where more decorative systems and anti-slip
coatings is possible.
NMC Specialist Coatings is being headed up
by industry expert Robert Gourlay who has
joined NMC Group from Eurovia Specialist
Treatments where he was responsible for
delivering a number of high-profile projects
including the £2 million surfacing contract
for the Olympic Park prior to the 2012
Games. Robert has over 20 years of industry
experience and for four years he chaired the
High Friction Surfacing Committee (HFSC),
part of the Road Surface Treatment
Association.
Patrick McCracken, NMC Group CEO, said,
“We are delighted to bring Robert on-board
to lead our exciting new Specialist Coatings
function. After launching our new drainage
service last year, we continue to invest in
complimentary service capabilities to support
our strategy and position NMC at the next
level in providing complete turnkey solution
for clients.
“Not only can we take care of surfacing
essentials but now we can provide durable
and sustainable coatings and markings
that are bespoke to each client.”
Robert Gourlay, said, “I am really excited
to be joining NMC Group which is one of
the most respected, honest and diligent
operators in the sector. Specialist surfacing
is a growing market with brilliant new
technology that can literally transform outside
areas into more inspiring spaces to enjoy.
It can also deliver very practical solutions
that are still bespoke to each client with
more creative way finding and branding.
This opens many new opportunities for
NMC and I am looking forward to working
with the team to grow the business.”
Headquartered in Doncaster, NMC Group
operates a national network offering
a 24/7 service to its clients. The Group
predominantly serves the retail,
commercial and leisure market but also
provides surfacing solutions to high risk
petrochemical, industrial, healthcare
and education sectors. Key clients include
Tesco, Sainsburys, McArthurGlen and BP.
Alongside surfacing, the Group offers civil
engineering, draining, line marking and
