Life doesn’t always follow the calendar. Stress, setbacks, and struggles don’t wait for special dates. That’s why R U OK? Day on Thursday 11 September is an important reminder, but the real power comes when we check in with each other any day.

We recently welcomed Fahad Ismail to NPSG Australia as our new Health, Safety & Quality Assurance Manager. He brings 15 years’ experience across major construction, infrastructure, and industrial projects in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, including a key leadership role on Riyadh’s groundbreaking Mukaab development. Fahad’s deep expertise in workplace safety, risk management, and compliance is matched by his passion for building proactive safety cultures. Now based in Melbourne, he has also volunteered his skills for global events such as the FIFA World Cup 2022. We sat down with Fahad for a Q&A.

When people think about warehouse safety, they envision the final product and procedures: distinct yellow guardrails outlining pedestrian zones, bollards protecting infrastructure, and clear walkways ensuring the efficient flow of staff and stock. However, installing such barriers is far from simple, requiring a well-co-ordinated effort, one that is often carried out in a live evolving site.

At NPSG Australia, we are entering one of the busiest periods of the year. Teams are spread across Melbourne, Sydney and soon Brisbane, each focused on delivering complex projects within tight timeframes.

Our work revolves around logistics installation and outfitting, helping some of the world’s biggest retail and distribution brands improve efficiency, productivity and safety. From warehouse builds to fit outs and system installations, we support the spaces that keep supply chains moving.

It all comes down to teamwork.

On Friday 23 May, Tracey and Vicki joined around 3,000 trekkers for Coastrek Mornington Peninsula, choosing the 30km route through some of Victoria’s most stunning coastal trails, all in support of mental health. 

To mark the World Day for Safety and Health at Work on 28 April, NPSG Global is coming together to turn one day of awareness into a full week of safety-focused conversations across all project sites.

Teams across the Australia, USA, Canada and Europe will be kicking off each workday, and picking things up again after lunch, with toolbox talks aimed at keeping safety front and centre. These daily check-ins are a chance to pause, reflect, and refocus on what matters most: making sure everyone goes home safe.

At NPSG Australia, we understand that operational needs can shift quickly. Whether it’s a change in product type, packaging size, or fulfilment process, your workstations need to keep up. That’s why we offer tailored solutions that adapt and modify existing workstation areas, providing a cost effective and sustainable alternative to full replacements.

Employee Appreciation Day: A Tribute to Our Team

 At NPSG Australia, we know that our success is built on the dedication and resilience of our incredible team. Today, on Employee Appreciation Day, we want to take a moment to recognise the people who make it all happen, you.

Clean Up Australia continues to inspire communities to protect our environment, eliminate litter, and drive sustainable waste management. In 2025, NPSG Australia proudly renewed its commitment to these values through our annual participation in Clean Up Australia Day.

This year, our dedicated Melbourne team met at Seaford Beach to collect rubbish and make a tangible impact on our surroundings. Our collective efforts are a reminder that every small action contributes to a larger, lasting change in the way we care for our environment.

Chris Coote and Jaiden Shaw are currently in Singapore, working on a 12-week project in Jurong East. While the work keeps them busy, they’re also adjusting to life in a new city, getting used to the tropical climate, trying local food, and making the most of their weekends to explore.

This year, we successfully completed a range of projects across Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, New Zealand, Vietnam and Singapore. From installing Tote Conveyors to decommissioning buildings, fitting out mezzanines, an AutoStore installation, commercial fitout for fulfilment centres and delivery stations, and guardrail installations – the variety and scope of work we’ve delivered is testament to the skill and commitment of our team.

NPSG Australia has once again demonstrated its expertise with the recent installation of a tote conveyor system at a major warehouse in Victoria, on behalf of one of Australia’s leading logistics automation providers 

The project involved the careful assembly and commissioning of multiple conveyor systems, including Goods to Person (GTP) and Sorter Conveyor systems, as well as key safety features like guardrails and netting. 

Thursday, 7 November marks International Project Management Day, a time to acknowledge the dedication and expertise of project managers worldwide. This day also encourages them to share insights and learn from each other’s experiences. In recognition, we did a quick Q&A with Jesse Palmer, our National Project Manager.

In October NPSG Australia staff walked in solidarity for the 1 in 5 Australians who experience a mental illness each year.

Mental illness can be debilitating and can have a devastating impact on not only those living with it, but those around them. 

NPSG Australia staff took part in the One Foot Forward campaign to raise funds for the Black Dog Institute, so that they can put ground-breaking new mental health treatment, education, and digital services into the hands of the people who need them most.

Well done to the 8 staff who walked a total of 1138kms raising $1122 for the Black Dog Institute.

Uncovering Recycling Service Mismanagement Ahead of National Recycling Week

In March 2021, NPSG Australia embarked on an ambitious project which culminated in the January 2022 launch of BWU2, the largest warehouse in the Southern Hemisphere. Spanning a colossal 200 thousand square meters and spanning four levels, BWU2 has redefined the logistics and storage landscape. However, as vast as its footprint is, the challenges of managing the fitout inventory required within such a massive structure have been almost as big. 

Tracey Wester, Managing Director of NPSG Australia, attended MEGATRANS 2024 in Melbourne on Thursday 19 September, a pivotal event for the logistics and supply chain industries.
