On Thursday 11 July, all six members of the Group Operating Executive (GOE), three members of the Bailey family and 22 London based colleagues undertook the London Bridges Charity Challenge. The team took to the pavements of London to walk 15 miles, following the path of the River Thames and crossing 16 of London’s most historic bridges along the way. The team raised vital funds for The Brain Tumour Charity, an organisation dedicated to saving lives and funding research to fight brain tumours. To date, they have raised a staggering £9,858, a fantastic 179% of their original target! All monies raised will be matched by NG Bailey. If you would like to support the team and donate to this worthy charity, the JustGiving page can be found here: https://bit.ly/3WbK5ku #NGBailey #Charity

About us
The Freedom Beginning Founded in 1996 with an entrepreneurial management buyout from Yorkshire Electricity, Freedom has grown significantly with over 600 direct employees and twenty offices in the UK and Western Europe. In April 2018 we were acquired by NG Bailey Group (www.ngbailey.co.uk), one of the UK’s largest independent engineering, IT and facilities services businesses. The knowledge and relationships we have developed over the past 20 years combined with NG Bailey’s innovative approach to large engineering and services projects, provides a strong platform for sustained growth for both companies. Our Customers Our end-to-end approach brings many benefits to our clients and it allows us to add value to our customers’ operations, thereby delivering real customer service. We have many longstanding customer relationships, indeed our grounds maintenance contract with Yorkshire Water may be the longest continuous maintenance contract in the UK utilities market. Freedom is seeing a growth in opportunities with customers outside the traditional utility, nuclear and renewable energy sectors, both in the UK and in Western Europe. At the forefront is: construction and property, transport infrastructure, industrial and manufacturing, technology and the public sector. Our Employees Freedom recruits, trains and develops its employees in a wide variety of disciplines. From highly technical electrical, civil and security system engineers and designers, to field staff maintaining and installing electrical equipment, overhead lines and underground cabling – the skill range is immense. As well as finance, IT, HR, procurement, business development and other commercial functions, we have specialists in such disciplines as aerial and below ground surveying, inspections and mapping as well as emergency call-out teams in case of storm damage to power supplies, for example.

On 21 September, Mark Kelly, Senior Operations Director in our Freedom business will take on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. Together with a team of colleagues from across the NG Bailey Group and established clients, as well as a key member of his clinical team, he is hoping to complete the route in under 10 hours. For those who don’t Mark, in 2021 he suffered a life changing accident and in 2022 he became a below knee amputee. Mark and the team are hoping to raise money for a number of charities from this challenge, which include the NHS Derby Royal Hospital Amputation Rehabilitation Centre, Blesma, the charity for limbless veterans, mental health charity, Combat Stress, and a local self-funded junior football team, Tansley JFC. If you would like support Mark and the team on this tough challenge by donating to their chosen charities, you can do so through their dedicated JustGiving page: https://bit.ly/3T1yyTJ We wish Mark and the team the very best of luck! #NGBailey #Charity
