Celebrating 5 decades of success

Sector Image

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.

Since then, we went through a major merger with Fircroft (September 2020) to become NES Fircroft - our combined reach makes us true world-leaders in technical and engineering workforce solutions.

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.

Diversification

Supporting energy transformation

We began our journey as one of the leading oil and gas staffing providers in the industry, but as the company has grown and evolved so has our reach in to new sectors and we have successfully transferred the NES brand into complementary sectors such as Power, Renewables and Life Sciences.

Industry Diversification

2024 vision

Our vision is to provide the expertise which supports our clients as they accelerate the transition to sustainable energy production and secure a brighter future for generations to come.
