About NRM
NRM was formed in 1994 to provide specialised network and software design and implementation services to the retail gaming and leisure markets in the UK.
Based in Hessle, East Yorkshire, the business has invested heavily in specialised engineering resources in the form of both capital equipment and people, to become one of the sector’s leading specialist suppliers. The business counts some of the UK’s leading retail gaming and leisure operators as key customers and partners.
As a multi-disciplined, quality-driven organisation (ISO 9001 certified) and an approved BACS bureau, NRM is well placed to be able to identify emerging technologies and deliver innovative products and added value services to its customers.
Our Pedigree
The principals behind the business have been closely associated with the retail leisure sector for many years, and have been behind many of the advanced technological platforms in use today. In addition, the company prides itself on key staff retention, with many of the ‘NRM team’ having been with the business for over ten years. The business prides itself on a ‘can-do’ attitude and has helped establish NRM as a leading developer and operator of digital based gaming and entertainment products for the UK and international markets.
Innovative Solutions
NRM is a very dynamic business and prides itself on being able to react very quickly to demand, whether this is to perceived market opportunities, or to specific customer requirements.
