For decades, Semple has been at the heart of mechanical and electrical engineering in the UK. The company provides support services to a wide range of sectors and has some of the UK’s biggest companies as its clients. Semple's key businesses operate in building services, security and turnkey, and motorway communications. It is committed to delivering a first class service to clients.

The world needs engineers. They are the men and women who make possible the impossible. They cut through mountains. They span rivers. They change skylines. When convention says “You can’t do that”, they say “yes we can” – and they do.

Today, engineering is more important than ever. It influences every part of our daily lives. But it is a huge sector. Companies have to work together in consortia; projects involve complex cooperation and teamworking. Support services are as vital to this process as the core of the operation.

Semple works across a whole range of different engineering sectors. These vary from retail stores and office developments through to healthcare, sports stadia, leisure centres and industrial production facilities. It also undertakes government, local authority and defence projects.

Existing clients include Mowlem, Barr, NCP, Sir Robert McAlpine, MoD, Glasgow City Council, Balfour Beatty, Edmund Nuttall, BAE, British Telecom and Honeywell.

Semple's expertise spreads right across the M&E engineering sector. It has been a key contractor in a wide range of different markets since the 1950s, and has developed the skills required to meet the changing needs of the industry.

Semple's key businesses are building services, security and turnkey and motorway communications.

Managerial planning and control is handled centrally, creating an integrated environment which optimises utilisation of company resource and expertise. When viewed separately, these key businesses demonstrate clear operational focus on specific M&E engineering disciplines. Combined, they provide an integrated support service solution able to undertake and successfully complete complex projects from a number of networked locations across the UK.

The company is committed to delivering excellent services and this ethos runs through its entire operation in departments such as health and safety, procurement, human resources, IT, business development, marketing and quality assurance – the company itself is NQA certified to the ISO 9001:2000 standard. Semple is committed to serving its clients through controlled growth allied to substantial investment in critical areas such as recruitment and training. It tailors its services to meet the demands of the marketplace and intends to maintain and enhance its reputation as it continues to grow.
