History

Celebrating 4 decades of success

In 1978, Northenden Engineering Services was established by co-founders, Geoff Lloyd and Bryan Sullivan. The company was known as NES International, NES Overseas and often simply "NES" before becoming NES Global Talent as part of a re-branding exercise in 2011.
The business grew impressively  and was sold to AEA Investors in 2012 for £234m, more than three times as much as it was valued six years previously.
Due to our strong financial base we have been able to make 7 strategic acquisitions in the last 5 years, adding  Energy People, RC consultants, Sure Flow, Frontica Advantage, Ziegler's Oilfield Consulting, Redbock and Bedrock Petroleum Consultants to our portfolio. This means we are now by far the largest oil and gas staffing provider in the industry.
In recent years, we have also successfully diversified our business and transferred the NES brand into six complementary sectors such as Power and Life Sciences, enabling the business to not only survive but continue to thrive across the globe. In 2020, we saw further growth following the strategic alignment between NES Global Talent and the Fircroft Group creating NES Fircroft - one of the leading human capital solutions businesses for engineering and technical talent globally

DIVERSITY COMMITMENT

With over 100 offices around the globe NES have a diverse workforce and we recognise, respect and value the diverse nature of the wider society in which we operate.

However we do not feel it is enough to simply implement procedures in line with equality legislation and we have broadened our approach to ensure we are working towards being market leaders in tackling diversity issues and are supporting our clients to achieve their diversity goals.

Diversity in Recruitment – Gender

We are proud to partner with APSCO’s “Women in recruitment” action group and have committed to their Gender Equality Charter which is a public commitment by recruitment firms to promote gender equality throughout the business. As a signatory we work to ensure that we achieve best practice in our recruitment, career progression and retention practices as employers and aim to empower our female employees to achieve their full potential.

To make recruitment diversity a reality we commit to focusing on the following key areas:  

•    Internal Recruitment: recruiting fairly from as wide a base as possible.
•    External Recruitment: encouraging applications from as diverse a base as possible.
•    Encouraging end-user clients to recruit in a fair and diverse manner.
•    Encouraging diversity at senior decision-making levels.

Supporting Women in Energy

NES Fircroft is a member of ALLY (Pink Petro) - an organisation dedicated to connecting and advancing women in Energy. Our Marketing Director sits on their Global Community Council and meets quarterly with peers from organisations such as Baker Hughes GE, Cheniere and Halliburton to connect on emerging issues and challenges.

Taking the market temperature 

In partnership with Energy Jobline, we recently surveyed over 1,000 female engineers to find out how they're feeling working in the industry. We conducted this survey to find out more about women working in the Energy industry, their career path and the challenges and opportunities of working in the sector, in a bid to help highlight what the industry could be doing to attract and retain female employees.

ISO CERTIFICATION
