• New Sizewell C office opens in New York Street, Manchester to attract talent in the North of England  

• Sizewell C project has so far delivered over £168m in contracts to northern suppliers  

• Announcement follows previous agreement with Uni of Liverpool and LCRA to boost sustainability, skills, and economic growth across region 

• Sizewell C has already made commitment to invest £2.5bn in the North of England and create 13,000 jobs in the region 

Sizewell C has opened a new office in Manchester as it looks to attract talent in the region to join the nuclear power project currently under construction in Suffolk. 

Sizewell C – which last week reached Financial Close – has previously committed to investing £2.5bn in the North of England and creating 13,000 jobs in the region. After almost two years of construction, the project has already delivered £168m in contracts to businesses in the North.  

The opening of the new office, in New York Street in Manchester, is another sign that the benefits and opportunities of the project stretch right across the UK and is a reflection of the talent base that exists in the area.  

The North is an important region for nuclear talent and skills, with a third of the total UK nuclear workforce based in the area, with the majority of those in the North-West.   

Nigel Cann, Joint Managing Director of Sizewell C, said: “Sizewell C is a project that will benefit the whole of the UK, not just by generating energy, but by delivering thousands of jobs, growth and economic benefits right across the country.
