IWD 2025

We are celebrating the incredible women within the Niblock team for International Women’s Day 2025!

In an industry that is more widely dominated by men, we are exceptionally proud of the women in our team forging careers in construction and changing the landscape of the industry for generations to come.

 

Denim for Dementia

The Niblock head office team showed up in their denims today for our annual Denim for Dementia event to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society.

The donations will directly help the Charity with their research into the cause, cure and prevention of Dementia and fund vital support for the families and invididuals affected.

National Careers Week 2025

As we celebrate National Careers Week 2025, we take pride in our ongoing commitment to inspire young people to explore careers in the construction industry. We are passionate about promoting the sector, and over the past three months, we have delivered a range of impactful initiatives, including:

·      Employability workshops with Construction Youth Trust across several London boroughs, engaging students at schools such as Harris Academy, Mulberry Woodside and Ark Walworth Academy
·      Mock Interview Days for Year 11 and 12 students
·      A guest lecture at London South Bank University

“Thank you for giving your time to support us. Introducing young people to inspirational role models from the world of work is highly effective in generating that first spark of interest that can make all the difference to their futures. We can’t thank you enough.” Michelle Asamoah, Senior Schools and Programme Coordinator at Construction Youth Trust

Retrofit University Lecture

Last week, we were pleased to return to London South Bank University with Baily Garner LLP to carry out another talk on our Passivhaus Retrofit project for the London Borough of Lambeth aligning with their ambitious ‘Climate Action Plan’, which aims for a net-zero carbon footprint by 2030.

Our lecture provided a detailed overview of the project at 24-26 Bloomhall Road, the programme and the innovative retrofit technologies utilised.
It was an excellent opportunity to highlight the collective expertise powering the project, with contributions from Benjamin N. from Baily Garner and Jodie Pitt and Paul Rayment from Niblock, and we were thrilled with the high level of engagement from those attending the lecture.

Christmas Jumper Day

It’s Christmas Jumper Day 2024 and our head office team has had a fantastic time getting into the Christmas spirit dressed in their festive knits to raise money for Save the Children International for the 6th year in a row! The Charity organises the annual event to help give children in the UK and around the world the future they deserve.

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.

SEC Conference 2024

Niblock will be exhibiting at the SEC Annual Conference on Wednesday 16th October. This year’s theme, ‘A Call for Action: Delivering Truly Brilliant Homes for the Communities We Serve,’ will address key challenges in the sector. The event will feature insightful talks on procurement reform, net zero, future home innovations and building safety.

With our growing involvement in Retrofit Projects, we are looking forward to attending sessions such as ‘Scaling up Retrofit’ and ‘Tackling Skills and Technology Gaps in Delivering Our Sustainability Goals,’ ensuring we stay at the forefront of the latest developments in this field.

If you are attending the conference, please do come and see our Team located at Stand 8.
