NES history

two hundred years of engineering heritage

The Modern Company Starts to Emerge 1956

A major project for Fuel Route equipment is delivered for Berkeley Power Station, as well as a broad spread of nuclear design and build contracts for other Magnox Power Stations.

1967

John Thompson Nuclear Components is formed with the remit to undertake Nuclear Engineering Design and Manufacture for all major Nuclear Power Stations across the UK. Supply moves to AGRs at Hinkley Point and Hunterston.

The Early Years 1810

John Thompson was founded during the peak of the industrial revolution, manufacturing and supplying boilers across the UK and Europe.

The Twentieth Century 1953

1955

The John Thompson Ordnance Company is formed. 1953 also sees Thompson’s introduction of electromechanical design and manufacture work for civil defence development projects. The first nuclear contract is won for work at the UKAEA’s Dounreay site.

1977 NEI Thompson is formed in a groundbreaking merger between John Thompson International Combustion and Clark Chapman. 1980s Ministry of Defence work is carried out in support of the nuclear submarine programme. During the 1980’s and into the 90’s the high level of nuclear contracts being delivered by the Company is also maintained. 1992

Rolls Royce NES is formed, taking over from NEI Thompson, branching out from manufacturing aero engine spares and assemblies.

Into the New Millenium

NES Today

2003 Nuclear Engineering Services Limited (NES) is formed through Seighford Investments and Brett Coopers acquisition of Rolls Royce NES.

2011

2009 NES receive major investment comprising £6.5m from Lloyds Development Capital (LDC), supported by the Co-Operative Bank. This funding enables the business to deliver the increased capability essential to achieve the next major growth phase. As part of this expansion, during 2009 NES opens a Centre of Engineering Excellence at Thomson House, Risley in the North West.

NES North West Division is launched with the opening of a purpose-built 2,100m2 state-of-the-art design, manufacture, assembly, testing and training facility at Beckermet in West Cumbria. The cutting-edge facility is located just a couple of miles from Sellafield, making it the closest facility of its kind to the UK’s flagship nuclear site.

NES sectors

nuclear decommissioning defence nuclear new build

Nuclear Decommissioning ■ NES has a proven track record in nuclear decommissioning and are currently tackling some of the most complex technical and manufacturing challenges within the nuclear decommissioning programme. ■ Offering a complete range of services from concept design, through to onsite installation and operator training, NES is able to draw on over 50 years of nuclear experience and apply this to decommissioning projects. ■ Retaining all the required engineering skills in-house, NES’ innovative approach to engineering considers solutions from all industries, ensuring the best value option is selected and managed through Integrated Project Teams. ■ Nuclear decommissioning products and services successfully delivered: > Remote Lifting and Manual Handling Equipment. > Fuel Route and Fuel Handling Equipment. > Gloveboxes and Containments. > Waste Size Reduction. > Skid Mounted Process Plant. > Custom-Designed Special Purpose Equipment. > Process Equipment.

Defence

Nuclear New Build

■ NES has 20 years’ experience in successfully developing and delivering innovative, bespoke services and solutions to the defence industry, as an approved vendor to the MOD.

■ NES are a Tier One Board member of the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (Nuclear AMRC), giving NES access to world-class nuclear research and development facilities and programmes, and involvement in determining strategy and research directions.
