NSL has an ethos of simplification and consolidation to drive service improvement and cost efficiencies.
About us
NSL was formed in spring 2007 following the demerger of National Car Parks into two separate businesses.
NSL employs over 5,000 people in the UK and can demonstrate relevant experience in all of our key business areas. For example, we currently provide airside and landside coaching for Heathrow and Gatwick airports, deploy patient transfer and high dependancy services to the NHS to rigorous standards, manage in excess of 500 car parks for multiple clients, including across the whole province for the Northern Ireland government, and deliver customer focused yet highly effective traffic management enforcement services for virtually every major UK City, including London - where we work with 14 Boroughs, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh.
NSL is an expert outsourced service provider and we are very aware of the need for accountability. Our innovative solutions include systems that not only provide transparency and accountability from day one, but can also assist you to improve your current business processes. We adopt an open book philosophy and can demonstrate considerable experience in risk and reward based commercial models, with our profit remuneration recovered for good performance against service level agreements and key performance indicators.
NSL has a wealth of experience of contract implementation and service transition. We have welcomed over 2,400 TUPE colleagues into our business and transferred equipment, assets and property on numerous occasions. The company follows PRINCE2 project management methodology and is meticulous in its implementation planning and delivery. NSL will appoint a dedicated implementation team, led by a qualified programme manager to ensure that our end solution matches your business goals.
