Steve Tyrer, Business Development Manager – Nuclear: “The contact with BYLOR at HPC has enabled ASD to invest in a further saw line with operator, a business administrator and a project engineer who are now all dedicated and committed to this project.
“We started working with Somerset Chamber’s Hinkley Supply Chain back in 2012 and have been supported by the team as and when opportunities arise.
We took a seat at the Somerset Energy Innovation centre business hub in Bridgwater where we were able to improve our networking with both the Chamber and SWMAS. This led us to a BYLOR supply chain event, where we started our BYLOR journey, which led to the embedment sleeve contract award.”
The supply team placed ASD onto their supply map where Tier 1 and 2 contractors could see our business capabilities and value proposition. Regular discussions with the team shaped our strategy for engagement with main contractors and this was vital to us.”
