\"\"<\/p>\n

In our new series, we promote and highlight the incredible work being carried out by our supply chain partners – meet local SME William King Construction.<\/p>\n

Our \u2018Supplier Spotlight\u2019 series will get behind the scenes with our supply partners through insightful interviews with key players and provide a glimpse into the expertise they bring to PPP, their work in the local community, and much more.<\/p>\n

\n

Since mobilising in 2019, our partnership has awarded contracts with a potential value of \u00a33 billion to support the delivery of our long-term infrastructure programme.<\/p>\n

What’s more, we are now working with around 200 suppliers from across the UK, with 40% based in the north-west and almost 70% being small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs).<\/p>\n

One of these SMEs is William King Construction, founded by William and\u00a0Lisa King, and based less than 10 miles away from the Sellafield site in Cleator Moor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Watch the video here<\/a> to hear from managing director Will and commercial manager Shawn Ackerlay who explain the firm\u2019s history from humble beginnings to winning multi-million-pound contracts to carry out work on our major projects at Sellafield, plus the team’s passion for hiring local apprentices, the innovative ways they are engaging school children to promote rewarding careers in bricklaying, how they are working collaboratively on PPP, as well as giving advice to others wanting to join our supply chain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
