( VLHM ) volunteer Duncan Balderson to produce a portable shooting range , NIS assembled its teams of apprentices , giving them the opportunity to run a project from start to finish . Apprentices from all departments came together to liaise with the client , design , cost , procure materials , quality control and manufacture the shooting range .
Expanding capabilities
Commenting on the project , Duncan Balderson said : “ The professionalism shown by the project team was excellent . The DNA of NIS being passed on to the next generation is obvious for anyone to see . The enthusiasm to deliver went as far as them approaching a local material supplier explaining what they were doing and getting the material and laser cutting for free !”
The company ’ s approach to securing future talent and constantly improving efficiency and quality has seen it go from strength to strength . After overcoming a challenging period in 2020 NIS has tripled its turnover in the last three and half years . With the engineering team doubling over the last two years , the company is poised to fully capitalize on the increased demand for its products and services .

As NIS looks to the future , its focus remains on expanding its capabilities while staying true to its core values of safety , quality , innovation , and sustainability . The company is planning to invest further in digital and technological advances , aiming to stay ahead of industry trends and continue delivering bespoke solutions that meet the evolving needs of its clients . ■
