Freedom, an NG Bailey Group company.

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 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

    Our Freedom business has achieved a key milestone just four months into an £8 million power supply upgrade project in Southampton for Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN). The first transformer has been completed, marking a significant step toward energizing the newly upgraded North Baddesley infrastructure. This upgrade will make connections more resilient and increase capacity, benefiting 7,500 homes and businesses. Martin Tyler, SAP Project Manager, commented “SSEN and Freedom have been working closely together on this project. The work we're doing on the substation is really going to benefit the local community. We're increasing the capacity of the transformers from 15 MVA to 30 MVA, which not only provides more power but also enhances the security of our energy supply.” Read the article to learn more: https://bit.ly/3XXRo1a #NGBailey #Freedom

    Last week we celebrated our 2022 graduate cohort, who have successfully completed their two-year graduate development programme with the business. Our six rising stars, who have graduated in different disciplines, attended their final event, and graduation ceremony, at our Leeds office. As part of their day, our successful graduates were asked to deliver their corporate social responsibility project presentation to members of our senior leadership teams. This was followed by a short presentation about their development journeys with us, which detailed what they have learned and delivered as part of their graduate programmes, together with their career development plans for their next steps. Congratulations to our graduates! #NGBailey #Graduates
