Headline sponsor - Sellafield Ltd

A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, we are responsible for the safe and secure operation and clean-up of the Sellafield site.

The environmental remediation of Sellafield will see us:

  • investing in one of the largest portfolios of complex major projects in the country
  • retrieving and treating nuclear waste from legacy facilities and then storing it safely
  • using our assets and expertise to provide safe and secure storage for used nuclear fuels and materials on behalf of the country

We don’t do this alone, but in collaboration with our supply chain partners, academia and stakeholders. Together, we are creating a clean and safe environment for future generations.

Networking sponsor - Safran

Since its inception in 1997, Safran has worked closely with customers and thought leadership to understand the complex requirements of project controls software. With offices in the UK, Norway, and the USA Safran also operates through partnerships globally. Safran is recognised globally for streamlining the project controls process while elevating project delivery confidence through its integrated project and change management capabilities, with a special emphasis on embedded and available risk management.

Much of our success is a result of the close collaboration with industry and SMEs such as Dr David Hulett in developing the software and supporting our innovative approach to risk management. With our ongoing development of Safran Risk and our recent launch of our new solution, Safran Risk Manager, we have demonstrated commitment to developing solutions that address real challenges our clients face both now and in the future.
