Overview
NSC Global is a multi-national technology managed network services and infrastructure with a proven track record and a blue-chip client base. Our aim is to be the partner of choice in the services we provide to our clients. The strategy the company has followed to date is to have a small number of large global customers such as AT&T, Accenture, BP, Capgemini, BMW and Verizon, and to become a key supplier leveraging their scale and growth. This strategy has seen NSC grow over the last 15 years to a £150m+ turnover company, profitable, with 1,500 plus employees across the globe operating in over 60 countries. Despite its scale NSC remains, at heart, an entrepreneurial company delivering solutions to sometimes complex problems in a creative and flexible manner. To be able to do this on a global basis is what makes us a long standing preferred supplier to many of our customers.
