Nuclear decommissioning specialist joins Warrington cluster with new office opening
A nuclear decommissioning and engineering solutions company is opening an office in Warrington, creating 10 jobs initially, with plans to recruit more staff in future.
Cumbria-based React Engineering has developed a reputation across the UK for providing specialist engineering and project management consultancy over the past three decades.
The company is expanding to Warrington to cement its current working relationships with the civil nuclear decommissioning sector, and to develop and grow new partnerships within the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and Sellafield Limited supply chain, and other specialists working in the area.
Phil Redfern, React Engineering’s managing director, said: “Opening an office in Warrington is a very exciting chapter in the React Engineering story, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to spread our expertise within the engineering industry, specifically the nuclear sector, further across the UK.
“We already work closely with a number of key clients in the Risley area and we are fully aware of the groundbreaking, world pioneering work which is carried out by some exceptional companies and organisations within the locality.
“By opening the new office space, we aim to build on these relationships to ensure that we continually strive towards providing the best possible solutions to real life industry problems. On the back of the success we have enjoyed over the past 30 years, we are looking forward to building a new team in Warrington which shares our values, work ethos and drive to make a positive impact on industry.”
Since it was formed in 1994, React Engineering has carried out innovative, cross-sector projects and consultancy work throughout the UK.
The company said it is passionate about raising aspirations for young people by providing educational opportunities in science and engineering not usually accessible to school pupils, in addition to running a series of fun events and workshops promoting STEM subjects.
Last year it relaunched its React Futures scheme which provides financial and professional support for young people to kick-start their careers within the engineering sector.
Students on the programme will receive a salary to support them through university, a job offer at React on completion of their studies and ongoing career development opportunities.

Kieran Tuplin, a senior consultant with React, will lead the new Warrington operation having recently relocated to Bolton. He has been tasked with establishing the company within the new community, and said: “Opening a new office in Warrington presents React Engineering with multiple new opportunities, and it showcases the great emphasis the company places on its people by empowering me to lead such an exciting period in its expansion.
“The prospect of creating new relationships with some excellent businesses within industry and the wider community is extremely exciting as the local area is something we, as a company, always wish to support and promote.
“Through this new office, React is showing its ambitions for business growth and I’m looking forward to the personal and professional challenges up ahead.”
