#NCW2024

We had a great morning visiting St Mark and All Saints Church of England Primary and Nursery School alongside Godalming Mayor, Penny Rivers.

As part of our Social Value commitments on our retrofit and refurbishment project in Ockford Ridge, we created a sustainable drawing competition called ‘Building a Greener Future’ to highlight the importance of meeting net-zero targets. With the help of the teachers, we delivered a workshop on energy-saving technologies that could be implemented, and the KS2 students designed their example town.

With donations from Waverley Borough Council and Continental Landscapes, we were able to award eight sustainable prizes to the best drawings!

A huge thank you to everyone involved!

🎄 Niblock’s Christmas Jumper Day 2023! 🎄

As part of our Social Value commitment at Ockford Ridge, we were delighted to attend site today and present a cheque for £750 to help support the student mentoring programme at Rodborough School in Milford, which is run by SATRO, an educational Charity, and sponsored by Waverley Borough Council.
 
Our donation will be used to recruit, train and support the mentors during their time volunteering, as they challenge and motivate Year 10 students who need support achieving their full potential. The mentors will work on boosting the students’ confidence and help them to recognise their skillset and abilities.

🌟 Recognising a Decade of Service 🌟

We are delighted to offer a huge congratulations to Stuart, Simon and Ray as they celebrate reaching their 10 year service milestones with Niblock.

People are our greatest asset at Niblock and we are extremely grateful for our much valued team members’ hard work and continued commitment!

As part of our Social Value Commitment for Ockford Ridge in Surrey, a few members of the Niblock team gladly volunteered to help with gardening at Eashing Cemetery.

“Waverley Housing Service would like to say a huge thank you to Craig and his team who worked so hard getting our community garden ready for the Spring. We are so looking forward to having them back when they can see the benefit and get the garden to the next stage. Thank you Niblock”.

We are attending HOMES UK 2023 and Unlock Net Zero Live on 22nd November at ExCel London.
 
With our involvement in several major Retrofit and Net Zero projects, we are keen to attend the following talks to enhance our knowledge surrounding this topic: 
 
🔸 How we are going to deliver net zero in the UK
🔸 Working in partnership to deliver retrofit at scale and for all
🔸 Retrofit skills and competency: rising to the challenge
 
We look forward to catching up with everyone and discussing the different ways in which we can continue working towards creating a sustainable, Net Zero future, through incorporating Retrofit technologies within our projects.

We’re exhibiting at #SEC2023 on 15th November at the London Stadium in Stratford.

The theme of this year’s conference is ‘Reset the Focus’; transforming the housing industry’s challenges into opportunities. We are looking forward to attending some of the various talks organised for the day focused on procurement reform, net zero, and building safety. Given our enhanced involvement in Retrofit and Net Zero Projects, we are excited to attend the ‘Getting Decarbonisation Done & Affordable Energy’ talk to stay updated on the latest developments in this field.

We are excited to catch up with everyone and discuss how we can work together to #resetthefocus on delivering brilliant homes for communities.

MHS Homes Halloween Open Day 🎃 
 
Last week, we attended the MHS Homes Open Day hosted on John Street in Rochester. Teaming up with mhs homes, Kent Fire and Rescue Service, Kent Police, Green Doctors, Medway Council and Jewson, we engaged with the local community to help residents understand what support is available to them, whilst also taking part in some spooktacular Halloween activities! 
 
It was a great success and a fantastic opportunity to speak with the local residents.
