Gearing Up For Sizewell C

Video showcases contract wins for Suffolk businesses

Collaborating with the Sizewell C Supply Chain on a promotion of its services, Woodbridge Visual Media has been immersed in a promotional video to give the local business community something to shout about.

The video highlights the excitement surrounding the multi-billion pound infrastructure project about to kick-off in Suffolk.

Filming for the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce and the Sizewell C Supply Chain has given the team at Woodbridge Visual Media a powerful insight into the work opportunities now opening up in East Anglia.

Having experienced the ripple effect on business growth and trickle down into coastal communities from the UK’s first nuclear new build at HPC, we can see that great things are about to happen in a similar way in Suffolk.

Using local buisness casestudies to show how companies are getting ready to bid for large contracts coming on stream, the crew filmed with a local recycling business Sackers, a waste service that is engaging with Sizewell C Supply Chain.

Our key takeaway from speaking with CEO, David Dodds, is that local firms have to studiously prepare for tendering to meet the exacting demands of nuclear construction.

Health and safety, security and social value are all elements that must be addressed in a competitive bidding environment. It’s an exacting journey, but should businesses succeed in getting a contract the rewards are considerable.

Interviewing the Head of Supply Chain Engagement, Ashley Shorey-Mills, and EDF’s Senior Supply Chain Lead, Steven Carroll, we discovered there is a generous amount of support for local organisations wanting a slice of the action. From the Sizewell C Supply Chain to the VARTAN Way there is significant guidance to get a business fighting fit for tendering.

The making of the video for the Sizewell C Supply Chain has been a milestone for Woodbridge Visual Media. We knew before we began production that Sizewell C is a truly significant development for the area but it’s also a touchstone for future green energy projects in a region fertile with innovative ideas for an era of low carbon power.
