It’s an honour to become the Chief Executive of one of the most important companies in Britain.

We’re responsible for some of the most significant and exciting environmental and engineering challenges anywhere in the world.

I’m privileged to be able to lead a team of incredible professionals, supported by extremely capable supply chain partners at a critically important time in the evolution of the Sellafield site.

I’m ambitious for our business and everyone within it and look forward to building upon the work of Paul Foster in delivering more value than ever before for the taxpayer, government and NDA as we work to make Sellafield safer, sooner.

Everyone at Sellafield plays a significant part in our critical work and our continued success will be a team effort. Nationally and locally our work creates a huge positive impact, for our country, our region and for those communities closest to the Sellafield site.
