Ramora UK launch NESS

Explosive ordnance disposal firm introduces National Explosive Safety Scheme (NESS)

RAMORA UK, specialists in land and maritime explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), have recently launched the National Explosive Safety Scheme (NESS). Having already helped to develop and implement official explosive-related procedures that are accepted as best practice throughout the industry, the company is now offering its expertise 24h a day through NESS.

The scheme will equip companies with the knowledge and capabilities needed to prepare them for any incident involving explosives, through advice, training and the delivery of practical EOD/bomb-disposal services by Ramora UK’s specialist EOD teams.

There are three levels of NESS membership – Bronze, Silver and Gold – each designed to accommodate the specific EOD requirements of individual clients. All three levels offer a discount on EOD services including a training package and access to a 24/7 emergency response helpline, as well as a range of free-of-charge services.

‘We believe that NESS represents a significant initiative for our industry,’ commented David Welch, managing director of Ramora UK. ‘The threats posed by unexploded ordnance affect businesses across a wide range of industries, but accessing the services needed to prevent and/or deal with these problems is not always as easy as it should be. NESS is really going to help them do that.’

Meanwhile, Ramora UK have expanded their sales team with the appointment of Faye Palmer as sales co-ordinator. Focusing on a number of the company’s key market areas, including aggregates and renewable energy, she will have particular responsibility for promoting the Ramora UK name globally.

Commenting on her appointment, David Welch said: ‘We are delighted that Faye is joining us at this important point in our global development. Following a number of high-profile projects, the full scale of our capability is now widely recognized in the UK, and we want to project that level of awareness globally.’
