HPC Supply Chain Engagement & Site Tour – Event Registration
Please use the link above to register.
Join us for a morning of presentations, networking, and a sealed bus tour of the Hinkley Point C site.
This will start at Cannington Court, where local suppliers and the HPC Team and Tier One contractors to explore supply chain opportunities, share experiences, and build valuable connections within the HPC project. Participants will hear from industry representatives, learn from local businesses already working on the project, and the latest updates from Sizewell C.
The event concludes with a guided sealed bus tour of the Hinkley Point C site, providing a unique opportunity to view the scale and progress of the project.
To help ensure as many suppliers as possible can take part, we’re kindly asking each organisation to register only one representative for the event. If additional colleagues sign up, we’ll place them on a reserve list and let you know after registrations close if any spaces are available.
Delegates will be collected from and returned to the HPC Cannington Park & Ride.
