QHSE - NSS - Nationwide Specialist Services

Setting new standards for safety, quality and the environment.

The safest way. This is our mantra. Yes, we thrive on a challenge. But never at the expense of safety. It’s so deeply ingrained in our culture, that it sits at the heart of everything we do, every minute of the day.

Some of our accreditations:

Health & Safety

Our philosophy on safety is simple. It’s our number one priority whenever we approach a job, no matter how big or small. Whether it’s keeping our own people safe, or the people in and around your properties. We’re fully accredited to the Occupational Health and Safety (ISO18001) standard, have a division dedicated to testing and assessment and even employ three full-time health and safety managers across the business.

Quality

Our seamless range of specialist services offers many benefits to our customers but none of this is meaningful without a robust foundation of quality. So that’s why we are fully accredited to the universally recognised ISO9001 standard. Our responsibility for quality is something that is owned by every person, within every division and in every location.

Quality policy

It’s a level of professionalism that’s not always encountered in the industry. Delivery is always efficient and to a high standard.

The group of lads I get to work with are brilliant and even as we’ve grown, everyone looks out for each other. Now that we’re part of a much bigger business, there’s a feeling of real security and knowing you’re playing your part in a success story. I’m grateful for all of the opportunities I’ve had.
Paul McKeown, 20 years with the business

The fact that we can go to NSS for nearly all our building maintenance requirements and it’s all delivered in-house does give them a competitive edge. We know the quality of service will be consistent and it will be efficient; both in terms of time taken and costs.
