The Nuclear AMRC (Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre) in Rotherham has launched a support programme to help manufacturing companies compete for work in the civil nuclear industry.
The Sharing in growth programme aims to develop the UK manufacturing supply chain for civil nuclear power — in new build, operations and decommissioning — and to help UK companies win work in the nuclear industry at home and abroad.
The programme is part-funded by the Government through the Regional Growth Fund and is supported by industry leaders, including Rolls-Royce.
Participating companies will receive a four-year programme of business development and training worth £1 million, tailored to the specific needs of their business. This will include shopfloor manufacturing improvement, process improvement, leadership development and specific nuclear-sector know-how.
The Nuclear AMRC is inviting manufacturing businesses across the UK to apply to participate in the programme. Companies can find out more and download an application form at: namrc.co.uk/work-with-us/sig. Applications must be received by 15 July.
