100 Years of the Pitts
This year, the Pitt family celebrate a momentous milestone with a century of service to Niblock between them!
We are proud to have had three generations of the Pitt family as part of the Niblock team, and we are thankful for their contributions over an impressive 100 years of service. Their ongoing dedication embodies the traditional values we cherish as a business and serves as a clear testament to the culture and work ethic that permeates our entire team.

National Careers in Construction Month
Careers in Construction Month!
In partnership with Construction Youth Trust and Spark!, we are helping shape the future of the construction industry. We have delivered a series of engaging career sessions across Lambeth, Southwark, Hounslow, Haringey, Barking & Dagenham, and Kent to give secondary school students valuable insights into the world of construction:
🔸 CV Employability Workshops
🔸 Employer Networking Events
🔸 Mock Interview Centres
🔸 Careers in the Industry Workshops
🔸 Sessions on ‘How to Apply for Apprenticeships/Degree Apprenticeships’
One recent session involved running a Mock Assessment Centre with five other industry volunteers for a group of sixty Year 12 students at Rivers Academy, where we received fantastic feedback:
“The mock assessment was very helpful and insightful — I learned a lot about teamwork.”
“My highlight was the task where we paired up to talk about experiences and how to relate them to questions from interviewers.”
“My highlight was interacting with the volunteers and speaking to new people.”
World Mental Health Day 2024
World Mental Health Day 2024
We are pleased to launch our new Mental Health & Wellbeing Focus today across Niblock Builders and Niblock Electrical Services to ensure we are providing a positive working environment for all employees, whilst raising awareness of mental health issues, tackling the stigma of poor mental health and improving positive mental wellbeing among our workforce and the wider construction industry.
As such, we have introduced Niblock Mental Health Ambassadors within the business, organised mental health awareness training for Management and through our renewed membership with Mates in Mind, have ensured all employees are aware of the support services available to them, including access to qualified counsellors.
We are adopting a joined-up approach with the Charity to ensure we are providing sufficient mental health support services for anyone already struggling, whilst actively working to promote a positive culture within the workplace where our team members feel able to talk openly and are provided with the skills and confidence to support anyone experiencing mental health issues.
