Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

We were proud to enhance our focus on Fairness, Inclusion and Respect by signing the Armed Forces Covenant and to subsequently receive the Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) in recognition of our commitment to the Armed Forces.

We recognise the value that our Armed Forces personnel, veterans and their families contribute to the country and our communities and we strive to support the values of the Armed Forces Covenant in many ways, including:

• A military recruitment strategy to employ Veterans, Service leavers, Spouses/partners, Reservist and Cadet Forces Adult Volunteers (CFAV’s).
• Providing 10 days’ additional paid leave per year for Reservists to help them meet their training requirements. 5 days’ additional paid leave to CFAV’s
• Promoting the Armed Forces Covenant to our suppliers
• Working with White Ensign Association and the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) to establish a tailored employment pathway for Service spouses and partners and Service leavers
• 2 paid volunteer days to support employee’s charity of choice
• Promoting Armed Forces and Reservist days and awareness week.
• Support Spouses/Partners during mobilisation and moments of need.

Through our military strategy we aim to recruit personnel from the military community who have a breadth of aptitude, skills and training which are transferable and could add real value to our business. We recognise it can be hard transitioning from services to civilian life, we offer a great induction to the company, buddies, military network, excellent benefits, and a wellbeing programme.

About us

Founded in 1921, our business has grown from a small electrical contractor to the award-winning, industry-leading company we are today. We are family-owned with a great heritage and we are proud of everything we’ve achieved and all the projects we’ve successfully delivered to our customers over the years.

Working across a variety of sectors within the building and infrastructure industry, our innovative, responsible, and forward-thinking approach allows us to work on fantastic ground-breaking projects, providing solutions using the latest tools and technologies.

We have offices, manufacturing facilities and sites located across the UK. As part of the work we do, we provide services for numerous MoD contracts. Our military community have been trained and developed within this area and provide critical knowledge to deliver expert support.

NG Bailey has a long tradition of supporting military personnel and our founder, Noel Grimshaw Bailey, received an OBE for his work as Honouree County Secretary of the West Riding Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Families Association.
