Our Chairman, Lord John Hannett, and CEO, Frank Lee, visited Sellafield in West Cumbria - home of our Ambassador Member Sellafield Ltd - a site whose mission resonates powerfully with our shared belief in structured collaboration for long-term value.

The visit provided an opportunity to see how Sellafield Ltd manages the challenges, and innovation required to maintain the safe and effective operation of one of the nation's key nuclear sites - work that will ultimately deliver a clean and safe environment for future generations.

From retrieving nuclear waste held in legacy ponds and silos, to decommissioning redundant facilities, constructing new state-of-the-art infrastructure, and safely managing and storing spent fuel and special nuclear materials, the scale of the mission is immense - a monumental, decades-long undertaking.

What stood out on our visit was how this national responsibility cannot be achieved by one organisation alone: it is delivered through partnership. Teams of scientists, engineers, supply chain partners, and regulators work together, each playing a vital role.

Sellafield demonstrates the true essence of structured collaboration - not just coordination, but a shared vision, shared values, and shared accountability across multiple stakeholders.

We would like to thank Stephen Scott, Aleksandra Radecka-Taylor, Stephanie Atkinson, Euan Hutton, Paul Robson and Simon Wilcock for their hospitality and for such an interesting visit.
