Nant Wins Professional Service Business of the Year Award

Gary Baker, our General Manager, accepted the award on behalf of the team.

We are proud to announce that Nant Ltd has been awarded “Professional Service Business of the Year” at the Black Country Chamber Business Awards 2025.

The award recognises organisations that deliver exceptional client value, embrace innovation, and achieve sustainable growth, all of which are at the heart of Nant’s mission to protect clients and their water systems. 

“What makes this especially meaningful is the leadership shown throughout the business, with our field and operations teams, technology, helpdesk, customer relations, accounts, HR, team leaders, supervisors and managers, and support teams all playing their part in exceeding both client and internal expectations.” Richard Deakin, Managing Director at Nant. 

“To our team NANT, Water Safety Specialists, No one deserves this more than you do and its testament to your commitment and hard work that we now have achieved this great accolade. 

It feels especially fitting that Gary Baker, our General Manager, accepted the award on behalf of the team, as he epitomises everything we stand for: ‘Know who you are. Be who you are. Stay who you are.’ 

Thank you to the Black Country Chamber of Commerce for the recognition, and congratulations to all the finalists, winners, judges and those who have played their part in this memorable event.” Carl Baker, Managing Director at Nant. 

Delivering Customer Value

With over 4,000 sites nationwide, more than 75% of which are in the care sector, Nant has become a trusted partner, providing peace of mind and ensuring compliance with the highest standards. Our role is to simplify complexity, manage risk, and give clients confidence so they can focus on what matters most: caring for their residents and communities. 

Long-term relationships are central to Nant’s success, and many of our contracts span multiple years, built on trust and proven results. Client feedback consistently highlights our commitment to responsiveness, professionalism, and the strength of our relationships. We are proud of the positive difference we make, not just as a service provider but as a long-term partner. This award further recognises that commitment. 

Excellence Through Innovation

At Nant, innovation is never a one-off event; it is embedded in our culture and continuously refined through client feedback and staff training. 

Of particular interest to the judges was our team’s consistent championing of innovative and forward-thinking solutions. The launch of L8 Remote, now operating across more than 550 client sites, has transformed compliance monitoring by reducing risk, saving time, and providing real-time insights. Alongside this, our in-house ReguL8 platform integrates scheduling, data, and reporting, driving efficiency and reshaping how clients manage water safety. 

Sustainable Growth & Team Development

Our people-first approach was key to our win. Nant has grown into a 55-strong team, supported by structured career frameworks, leadership development pathways, and flexible working conditions. Our belief in investment in people, from apprentices through to leadership qualifications, ensures we build capability, support wellbeing, and maintain the highest standards of service delivery. Without great people, great service is impossible. 

These efforts are backed by robust external recognition, with accreditations including the LCA, ISO 9001, CHAS, SafeContractor, and Constructionline. 

The awards took place at the Black Country Chamber Awards 2025 ceremony on Thursday 20th November at the University of Wolverhampton, The Halls. For Nant, winning is a chance to celebrate the dedication of our people, the trust of our clients, and the shared journey that continues to shape the future of water safety and compliance.
