Morson wins deal with new nuclear firm

THE development phase of NuGen’s Moorside Project – the UK ‘s largest nuclear power station in Cumbria – will be masterminded in Manchester.

This follows a deal between Salford-based technical recruitment and engineering group Morson and the North West nuclear build developer. 

It will see Salford-based Morson as the prime supplier of labour to the Project on the West Cumbrian coast near the Sellafield site.

NuGen – a joint venture company between Toshiba and ENGIE (formerly GDF Suez) – says it will not only create jobs in Cumbria, but also in Manchester as it has chosen Piccadilly Place in the city centre as an operations base for the development phase of the project.

The aim is to build a nuclear power station of up to 3.6GW capacity.

Once completed, the Moorside project will be the biggest nuclear development in Europe and could supply up to 7% of the UK’s future electricity for decades to come.
 
David Lynchehaun, head of client development at Morson, said: “This is an exciting partnership for Morson and NuGen and we are delighted to further develop our relationship with NuGen to become their chosen managed service agent.

NuGen’s head of human resources Karen Campbell said: “The agreement with Morson is a positive step forward for NuGen and this framework will be extremely valuable in supporting the Moorside Project as we power forward over the coming months and years.”
