NGS is proud to announce that it has reached the finals of the 2018 National Business Awards.

The 2018 Lloyds Bank National Business Awards is a programme that recognises excellence across all sectors in the UK. Its appeal is that any company in the UK, regardless of size, status or sector, can enter for one of the 17 categories.

NGS has now reached the final ten for the Vonage Nexmo Business Enabler of the Year category. This award celebrates businesses that offer value to their clients beyond just products, services or infrastructure. It is for companies that are “enablers”, offering a quantifiable competitive advantage to clients that allows them to increase sales and profitability. These businesses help clients to improve efficiency, build diversity, and implement innovation. The award was won in 2017 by Close Brothers Group plc.

NGS is, first and foremost, an emergency response company. It provides assistance to the insurance market (where it is named responder on thousands of policies) and it also supports retained clients over and above their insurance. Its services include integrated travel, tracking, medical, security, risk management, training, intelligence and remote logistics: this broad spectrum allows it to offer all-encompassing solutions to businesses or individuals in a range of international scenarios. Aside from emergency response, we provide more proactive services in the form of secure ground transport, protection officers, infrastructure risk assessments, country risk assessments, and more detailed bespoke analysis.

The business model that NGS uses is completely different from that of our competitors in the international response sector. It allows clients to receive assistance within hours rather than days, and to prepare for travel wholly rather than piecemeal, saving them money and time, whilst guaranteeing quality at every step of the process. These factors give NGS a very strong chance in the National Business Awards – winners due to be announced on 13th November.
