Onsite Insights is delighted to announce the Sellafield Centre of Business Excellence as the latest host organisation to join its prestigious best practice visit programme.
The Centre will open its doors in Cumbria on 26 November 2025 for its first Onsite Insights visit, with a focus on “Delivering Innovation in Big Industry.”
Sellafield has long been at the forefront of tackling some of the most complex challenges in the global nuclear industry. At its Centre of Business Excellence, the team is redefining what’s possible through world-first engineering innovations, driven by a can-do attitude, deep collaboration, and determination to succeed.
The facility acts as a hub for both people development and rapid technical problem solving. With a multi-disciplinary team covering most aspects of engineering on the Sellafield site, the Centre specialises in:
- Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
- Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Robotics
- Low Voltage Electrical Solutions
- Control Systems & Condition Monitoring
- Radiometrics
- Civil Engineering
During the visit, delegates will gain insight into how the Centre introduces innovation, rapidly develops bespoke solutions, and collaborates with both the Sellafield site teams and its wider supply chain to deliver lasting impact.
Speaking about the new partnership, Craig Branney, Head of the Centre of Business Excellence, said:
“We are proud to be joining the Onsite Insights programme and to share our approach to innovation in a sector where the stakes are high and the challenges are complex. Our mission is to show what’s possible when diverse expertise, creativity, and determination come together.”
Onsite Insights Director Ailsa Carson added:
“We are thrilled to welcome Sellafield’s Centre of Business Excellence to our programme. Their work is a shining example of how innovation can thrive in big industry, and we know visitors will be inspired by their achievements and approach.”
