HISTORIQUE
Nous célébrons 40 ans de succès
En 1978, la société Northenden Engineering Services a été créée par les co-fondateurs Geoff Lloyd et Bryan Sullivan. La société était connue sous le nom de NES International, NES Overseas et souvent simplement « NES », avant de devenir NES Global Talent, dans le cadre d'une démarche de rebranding en 2011.
L'entreprise a connu une croissance impressionnante et a été vendue à AEA Investors en 2012 pour 234 millions de livres sterling, soit plus de trois fois la valeur qu'elle avait six ans auparavant.
Grâce à notre solide base financière, nous avons été en mesure de réaliser 7 acquisitions stratégiques au cours des 5 dernières années, à savoir Energy People, les consultants RC, Sure Flow, Frontica Advantage, Ziegler's Oilfield Consulting, Redbock et Bedrock Petroleum Consultants, que nous avons ajoutés à notre portefeuille. Cela signifie que nous sommes actuellement de loin le plus grand fournisseur de personnel pétrolier et gazier du secteur.
Au cours des dernières années, nous avons également réussi à diversifier nos activités et à transférer la marque NES dans six secteurs complémentaires, tels que l'énergie et les sciences de la vie, permettant non seulement à l'entreprise de survivre, mais de continuer à prospérer dans le monde entier. En 2020, nous avons connu une croissance supplémentaire suite à l'alignement stratégique entre NES Global Talent et le groupe Fircroft, créant NES Fircroft - l'une des principales entreprises de solutions de capital humain pour l'ingénierie et de talents techniques à l'échelle mondiale
