About Us

NRLNRL Ltd is one of Cumbria's fastest growing companies and is highly respected in the recruitment of temporary and permanent staff nationwide. Our major strengths include our focus on clients, with dedicated account management a company policy, and our integrity, for which we are renowned.

NRL's expertise encompasses a wide range of industries including; Aerospace, Automotive, Chemical, Construction, Defence, IT, M&E Trades, NDT, Nuclear, Oil & Gas, Pharmaceutical, Power Generation, Rail, Stores Personnel, Telecommunications and Utilities.

The company was founded in 1983 and is owned by Andrew and Hugh Redmayne, who are heavily involved in the management of the business as Chairman and Vice Chairman respectively. They are supported by a strong management team as they look to achieve further organic growth, an endeavour which has seen the company increasing its turnover in recent years.

Operations and management are orchestrated from the company's head office; the impressively renovated Old Theatre on the Dovenby Hall Estate. From here, NRL invest in state-of-the-art systems and information technology which facilitate not only our growth, but also our candidates’ satisfaction and our clients’ success.

How we do business

NRL are preferred or sole suppliers to many of the UK’s largest companies nationwide. NRL’s traditional markets are construction, manufacturing, M&E, NDT, nuclear, oil and gas, power generation, rail and utilities. Our speciality is in supplying trades and technical people at all levels and for almost every kind of project and site: the right people at the right time, to the right budget.

Placing permanent staff is a growth area across all our vertical markets, complemented by search and selection services and complete managed vendor solutions.

At NRL, we are proud of our strong reputation for integrity and openness. Dedicated account management underpins our client-focused service.

Members of the REC, the company holds relevant industry accreditations and is registered to the ISO9001:2008 standard. NRL were one of the very first ECIA employment business members, and we’re also members of the JIB and JIB PMES Industrial Information Service.

We’re proactive in our recruitment, providing bespoke training to address skill shortages. Our knowledge of the markets in which we operate is comprehensive and rigorously maintained. We make environmental sustainability a priority, although safety always comes first.

Perhaps as a result of our long pedigree, we’re forward-looking. Our experience shows how important it is to seize opportunities, whether in strategic planning or in adding value to our service in bold and innovative ways.

Primarily, NRL’s business is people – establishing excellent, long-term relationships with our clients and candidates.

Testimonials

NRL have been providing the radiography service for AMEC for several years now at the Sellafield site. I have found them to be reliable, flexible and professional in carrying out their duties in what is sometimes a very tight timescale. I look forward to carrying on this relationship in the future and would recommend them to other companies.

Amec Nuclear UK Ltd

I engaged NRL to supply a key team of operatives to support our new build CCGT project in Pembroke. NRL supplied a qualified and experienced team of operatives who have worked efficiently on our project and enabled my department to deliver our part of the project on budget. The NRL team are always available and regularly attended site to deliver team meetings and tool box talks. When it came to demobilising the site team, NRL carried this out with the minimum of fuss and no disruption to the project. NRL maintained exceptional industrial relations on the project. I highly commend them and look forward to working with them on future projects.

NRL have continued to provide a high level of service to Jordan Nuclear Ltd and have the ability to react at short notice to meet our client demands.

Jordan Nuclear Ltd

NRL provided key support to our FGD projects, supplying a lot of experienced people at short notice. The programme for delivering the FGD was extremely challenging, resulting in rapid mobilisation of significant numbers of tradespeople. NRL were able to support SEC's requests for additional resources in a co-ordinated and professional manner. Equally impressive was NRL's co-operation in the demobilisation of operatives, always within the spirit of the NAECI and adhering to employment legislation.

SEC

We have enjoyed a very close and open relationship since1990, and I commend NRL as a truly capable and experienced recruitment company able to provide no-nonsense, quality, value-for-money recruitment.
