£1.3 billion for Suffolk’s new nuclear power plant
With the Development Consent Order for Sizewell C activated in January, years of planning and preparation for the nuclear new build in Suffolk thrusts the UK’s nuclear energy sector into a new phase.
Seeing is believing which is why the thousands of potential suppliers to the multi-billion pound project are exploring video presentation to position their services as the competition for contracts hots up.
Woodbridge Visual Media is now actively producing promotional films specifically for companies preparing their tender bids for Sizewell C. This is in partnership with Suffolk’s top-rated compliance and training organisation VARTAN.
“It’s a win for our energy security and sends a strong message to investors that Britain is serious about its low-carbon, homegrown nuclear-powered future.“
Andrew Bowie, Minister for Nuclear and Renewables
Following the activation of Sizewell C’s DCO, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has announced an additional £1.3 billion of additional investment to support the project.
For national and local companies seeking to be part of the supply chain, authentic visual insight into how their business operates to be included in their bid presentation could be the difference between winning a tender opportunity or losing out to a keen competitor.
Woodbridge Visual Media has half a decade of experience filming, editing and strategising visual communications for the UK’s first nuclear new build in a generation at Hinkley Point C via its agency partner Mendip Media.
With a strong reputation across the nuclear sector for its functional training, recruitment, internal comms and HSE video and photography, Mendip Media is adept at managing the stringent compliance required to work on large complex infrastructure projects.
Woodbridge Visual Media blends the best video, photography and animation creativity with industry knowledge and a local supply chain of producers, directors, camera operators, drone pilots, editors and animators.
The joint venture between experienced media professionals in the nuclear sector and Suffolk based video producer Vidoo, whose local footprint in the area stretches back a decade, has been operating successfully across East Anglia for several years.
As contracts for the project come on stream, there is huge opportunity for businesses in the Suffolk to benefit from work packages that will start to emerge in the run up to the Final Investment Decision as they did in Somerset.
The edge required to win in nuclear construction is sharp.
Nuclear power is now baked into the UK’s energy strategy. As part of the green energy mix, it will provide security of supply for the rest of the century. The story will be documented and filmed a thousand times. Video provides a functional role in inductions, recruitment case studies, internal employee messaging and training.
As the narrative develops, the video record of a vital new nuclear construction will build a fascinating library, detailing an era of British technology and innovation.
Demonstration of compliance, realistic pricing, robust recruitment and retention all wrapped in a clear offer is part of the journey.
And there are lots of organisations locally to help those who are committed to winning work, including the Sizewell C Supply Chain, the VARTAN Way and Young Sizewell C.
