Managing director Ronnie Watt said: “The purchase of the building – which we’ve occupied since 2012 - is part of our plan for growth, to support our diversification and allow us to build on existing success.
“We built our reputation protecting equipment in the demanding environments of marine and oil and gas, and we’re finding increasing demand for this level of performance from other hazardous or high-performance industries.
“Purchasing the workshop building provides an element of control and security for both the business and its workforce.
“It’s vital to us that we continue to provide the quality of service our clients have come to expect in the last 20 years, as well as support new clients as we expand into other sectors, such as renewable energy and food & drink.”
Environmental impact
Alongside the recent successful audit and renewal of our ISO 14001 accreditation, the acquisition also underlines our commitment to controlling the environmental impact of activities.
An extensive refurbishment and upgrade is planned for next year which will let the business continue its carbon footprint reduction, a move we see as important in our own net zero journey.
“New equipment means we are working more efficiently, consuming less energy in our activities and producing less waste,” said Mr Watt.
“For example, our two new electric pallet trucks which replaced a diesel forklift have contributed to a 30% reduction in total diesel emissions. And our new blast cabinet uses 15% less energy and produces 20% less waste.
“In addition, we’ve recently installed a new air filtration system that offers both environmental and staff safety benefits.
“Continuous improvement is an important ambition within Nexus, and these investments reflect our commitment to improving both our performance and the quality of our service, as well as identify efficiencies and improve client relationships.
“Our business is to protect the things that drive our clients’ businesses in demanding environments.”
With a strong focus on customer service and quick project turnaround times, Nexus is one of the leading surface treatment specialists in the UK.
Having built our reputation in the demanding environments of marine and oil and gas, we now cater to all hazardous or high-performance industries.
From renewables and decommissioning, to food manufacturing and the aerospace sector, Nexus delivers where safety and operational efficiencies are important.
