Last week, the Institute for Collaborative Working visited Sellafield at Hinton House, Birchwood, to share updates, exchange insights, and explore new opportunities to strengthen our relationship.

Highlights included:

• ICW reflections on developments and opportunities for cross-sector engagement and sharing.
• Sellafield updates on their 'Programme and Project Partners' initiative, Key contract delivery transitions and their Supplier Relationship Management programme.
• Productive discussions on the ICW Nuclear Forum status and key topics for future impact.
• Plans for the ICW Chairman and CEO to visit the main site in Cumbria.

Andy Van Schaick, Commercial & Supply Chain Leadership at Sellafield, said:

"Working with ICW helps us challenge ourselves, refine our approach, and deliver better outcomes for our stakeholders and suppliers. Our membership is about driving continual improvement, through sharing and learning across sectors, with other organisations with similar values and aspirations, to deliver greater value through collaboration. The ICW's passion for embedding collaboration principles to all types of business in a range of industries is evident. This ranges from free to use collaboration tools, the offer of their professionals who can provide sound advice on such matters as well as facilitating network connections."

Frank Lee, ICW Chief Executive, said:

"Sellafield are a significant and valued member of the Institute, and we can see how their leadership and teams continue to demonstrate what structured, value led collaboration looks like in action. It's exciting to see their maturity journey progressing and the positive impact it's having in their partnerships and supply chain development programme."
