Six Guys and Twelve Months
What can six guys achieve in twelve months? Quite a bit is the short answer!
We formed Noveum in June of 2017 with the idea of ‘Could we….?’ With our extensive experience built on the UK nuclear market, this was an obvious place for us to start and, though a logical choice, it didn’t come without challenges.
We knew that the market is highly regulated so to gain momentum and win orders we first had to attain certain accreditations.
During the first five months we were busy setting up the infrastructure, policies and procedures which subsequently resulted in us being awarded ISO9001:2015, ISO14001:2015 and OHASA 18001:2007 certification through BSI.
As you can imagine we were delighted but it wasn’t easy by any means. The key in achieving this at such an early stage in Noveum’s formation was simply down to the six of us working together with a clear vision to be the best at what we do. We all learnt new skills along the journey. Our mindset is that of working together and learning together which we think us helped us succeed.
With these accreditations confirmed, our next challenge was to achieve approved supplier status. With is in place before the end of 2017, we won our first order in December 2017. 2018 has seen this success continue, with a steady flow of orders from end clients in the UK nuclear industry.
Having gained some inertia in the market place we decided to develop our brand and to launch the Noveum website. Our new website made us feel real and ready for business!
We have a great team, the accreditations and experience to be a viable and credible option for automation solutions in the UK nuclear industry and so on we go….
Roger Turner said, “I am delighted with our achievements in our first year. Our long-term goal is to build the business to be different, to focus on putting the client first every time and always do what we say we are going to do. You can only achieve these two objectives if you work as a team.
“We are all equals, with everyone treated the same. We are big believers in a good work life balance. We measure output, not input. You can sit at your desk for a long time and achieve very little or be motivated and achieve great results pretty quickly.
“It has been fantastic fun and I have made sure we celebrate every key milestone one way or another! The Noveum days that we have introduced to help build the team and take time out during our busy schedule, have been tremendous – watch this space for future adventures!”
As we move forward into our second year we are looking ahead to grow our Noveum Team with likeminded people. If you are interested in being part of something special then contact us on hello@noveum.co.uk
