We are a trusted delivery partner to UK Distribution Network Operators, providing regional network support and full asset lifecycle.
Our regional network teams across the UK’s critical electricity infrastructure support Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) to maintain, renew and respond.
As networks evolve to support electrification, decentralised generation and increased customer demand, DNOs face a step-change in scale, speed and delivery expectations. We support this transition by combining established framework experience, authorised resource and long-term investment in people and capability. We work alongside DNOs to relieve pressure on connections queues, improve programme delivery, overcome access and environmental challenges, and strengthen network resilience.
Our regional operating model is designed to provide both flexibility and certainty. By organising delivery across geographically aligned teams while maintaining the ability to share resource nationally, we ensure consistent performance and efficient deployment of skills. This allows us to respond quickly to changing programme requirements while maintaining high standards of safety, compliance and delivery assurance.

We see the huge benefits from recruiting ex-military personnel, who have a breadth of aptitude, skills, and training that are transferable and add real value to our business. We currently employ colleagues who have either served in the forces or continue to offer their skills as a Reservist or Forces Volunteer.
Hear from some of our Armed Forces community to learn what advice they would offer to those considering a career with us, the skills they’ve found transfer well from their previous forces roles, and the support they’ve received from us.
Your leadership and management skills from serving in the Armed Forces are excellent and you have been well trained; these are all easily transferable skills. Listen, learn and be flexible – this will make you invaluable to any business.
I think our industry is a great fit for ex-service personnel . It is very apt to the life we led in the forces, with close - knit teams, flexibility, leadership and knowledge.
Moving from the Royal Navy as a Weapons Engineer to Freedom has been a great transition. I’m learning and developing every day with strong support from colleagues. The skills and discipline gained in the armed forces do set you up to succeed.
After 23.5 years in the British Army, I’ve brought leadership, resilience, teamwork and problem-solving to my role as Logistics Manager. NG Bailey’s values mirror my own and their support has made my transition to civilian life smooth and rewarding.
NG Bailey’s support for veterans, reservists and CFAVs ensures I can commit the time needed to make that impact, and I’m proud to work for an organisation that values service to the community.
Ex–Royal Corps of Signals veteran: I encourage Armed Forces leavers to consider this industry. Skills transfer to NG Bailey. Support helped my transition. Training progressed me from engineer to Project Manager leading my team. and career growth. now
Transitioning to NG Bailey from the Welsh Guards was seamless thanks to the great support available. My advice to anyone, regardless of background, is to trust your potential - drive and attitude matter more than academic results.
