Landowners benefit by working with NCS

January 19, 2010

NKW is a Landowner business located in the Hidden Valley area and was established to provide support services to the Hidden Valley Mine project run by another Joint Venture operation, Morobe Mining Joint Venture (Harmony and Newcrest).

NKW Holdings Ltd businesses currently include transport, security and Catering – for which they have been in joint venture partnership with NCS to provide Camp Management and Catering to Hidden Valley since January 2005.

“We work in a very challenging environment. My job is to represent the Landowners and work with our business partners to provide services. I have to bring together the understanding of people and businesses – all with very different ideas and expectations.” said Mr Muntz.

NCS’s initial challenge was to provide three solid meals each day for a K10.00 manday rate. This was delivered within the contract without cutting corners on quality or service delivery. The Hidden Valley project is now seven times larger than its original feasibility.

“NCS are a trustworthy organisation. Their business processes are very professional and this has resulted in the development of a good relationship with the Client. You’ve got to be able to get on with the Client and deliver a service.” Mr Muntz continued. Mr Muntz continued to say that administering the Joint Venture is not hard work with NCS as they sort out any problems immediately.

“NCS is proactive in training which the Landowners consider important – they are willing to invest in the development of the people. Being in PNG is about getting the job done. NCS is one of the leaders in this area and continue to focus on improvement.”
