First Bus is a leader in sustainable mobility and at the forefront of developments to create greener
public transport in the UK. In the North, by March 2024 our York depot will become the first outside
London to be fully electric. At the same time our Bramley depot on the outskirts of Leeds will be
transformed with electric charging and a third of its fleet will be zero emission buses. This
transformation of our business in the North region over the next 12 months has been made possible
by successful working partnerships with local authorities to secure government funding together
with multi-million pound investment by First Bus. This builds on our capabilities to operate electric
fleets in both cities over a number of years and supports the national strategy of First Bus to be zero-
carbon by 2035.
Drax is the global leader in the production, generation and supply of renewable power from sustainably sourced biomass, and a pioneer in carbon removal technology. Our purpose is to enable a zero carbon, lower cost energy future and our ambition is to be carbon negative by 2030. We’re building a future that is positive – for the climate, for nature and for people.
In the UK we’re a leader in dispatchable, renewable power. We’re combining our unique expertise in generating electricity from biomass with pioneering carbon capture technology at scale, with a goal to become the global leader in bioenergy carbon capture and storage (BECCS) and in sustainable biomass pellet production.
From cleaning-up the country’s highest nuclear risks and hazards to safeguarding nuclear fuel, materials and waste, Sellafield Ltd’s work is nationally important. We do this work on behalf of our owner, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. In delivering our work, including emptying our highest hazard buildings, waste management and keeping special nuclear material safe, we are building on an epic scale at Sellafield.
We are currently investing in one of the largest portfolios of complex major projects in the country, creating the facilities we need for the next stage of our purpose. Together, we’re at the forefront of engineering, innovation, project management and leading-edge support functions.
We’re building £8 billion of new waste management facilities and manufacturing tens of thousands of waste containers, while also reducing our carbon footprint. We’re inventing the robots and technology that we need to clean up Sellafield. Robots and technology that can be exported to the growing global decommissioning market. In everything we do, we’re ensuring the public funding we’re entrusted with has economic and social impact in our communities.
We’re creating a clean and safe environment for future generations.
Nuclear Waste Services brings together the UK’s leading nuclear waste management capabilities.
We have integrated the expertise of Low Level Waste Repository (LLWR), Radioactive Waste Management (RWM), and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) group’s Integrated Waste Management Programme (IWMP). This creates an organisation focused on the management of the UK’s nuclear waste, safely and securely for generations to come.
We are part of the NDA group, which is undertaking the biggest clean-up project in Europe over many decades. Nuclear Waste Services is integral to this environmental clean-up mission, as we work to provide permanent answers to our country’s nuclear waste. The UK has been producing and managing radioactive waste on an industrial scale since the 1940s. However, today’s approach and capabilities for waste management need to adapt to keep pace with NDA’s decommissioning ambitions. This includes its commitment to recycle 50% of waste from decommissioning and reduce secondary wastes by around 70% by 2030.
Founded during the global pandemic in 2019, Fibrus is on a mission to bring full fibre broadband to previously underserved areas of Northern Ireland and England. In just three years the business has already connected over 250,000 homes, with the goal of reaching 1 million in the future.
Fibrus’ real accomplishments lie in the positive impact services are having on individuals, communities, and businesses. The company aims to enhance the lives of people in rural areas who have long experienced limited connectivity options, allowing families and local people to have the same opportunities as those living in bigger cities.
