Engineering group creates new £300m services division

NG Bailey, the Ilkley-headquartered engineering group, has created a new £300m Services division.

The group has made the move to bring together its Facilities Engineering Services and IT Services businesses, alongside the recently-acquired Freedom Group.

The newly formed division will combine NG Bailey’s national capabilities in facilities engineering services, IT, fabric and project management services with its power engineering services and land management capabilities.

Peter Jones, previously managing director for IT Services and the Freedom group, extends his remit as managing director for the combined NG Bailey Services division, reporting into chief executive David Hurcomb.

Jones will lead the strategic development, business growth and overall performance of the Services division.

He will be supported by David Hartley, as chief operating officer (COO) of Freedom; Tim Simmons, as COO of the new Facilities & Infrastructure business; and Kelly Tedesco, previously customer business director in the IT Services division, who becomes COO for IT Services.

David Hurcomb said: “Separately, the group’s three services-led divisions have established strong positions in their individual markets, so combining their strengths provides us with a very powerful and persuasive offer across the entire industry.

“It also underpins the delivery of our order book, which is circa £1.4bn and delivers a more balanced construction and services business.”  

He added: “Peter has an extensive background in services and infrastructure at a national and international level, so he is the ideal person to lead this combined division and to drive its growth through innovation and outstanding customer service.

“I would like to say a heartfelt thanks to Stuart Linington, who retired from the business at the end of August, having overseen the growth of Facilities Services from a £30m turnover business to one generating almost £100m in sales.”

Peter Jones said: “The new structure gives us tremendous opportunities to promote the benefits of a combined Services offer to customers, which I believe is unique in the market. I am looking forward to working with David, Tim and Kelly, and everyone in our Services teams, as we continue to transform the division and provide continued excellence to our clients.”
