Area of partner's activity
The company is looking to forge partnerships with organisations, especially from France, which are looking to enter into the UK market and can offer complementary services mainly in the area of civil engineering, intelligent command and control (IC&C), neutronics etc. Nevertheless, the company is also open to potential interests from other EU countries. The main reason for collaboration is EDF has announced two new nuclear power plants in the UK and the UK company is interested to go into the bid by adding the above mentioned services in their portfolio. Preferably, the potential partner should be of the same size in terms of turnover and number of employees. The partnership envisaged are subcontracting and service agreements and the role of the partner would be to work together with the local company on the nuclear projects in the UK. In the longer term the UK consultancy also anticipates expanding into the potential partner market.
