iSH was delighted to host Copeland MP Trudy Harrison for a visit earlier this week which included a tour of what will become the iSH Enterprise Campus at Leconfield, Cleator Moor.

As well as discussing the exciting future which iSH and partners are creating for the wider region, iSH was also pleased to be able to showcase two SMEs already achieving regional, national and global success from their bases on Leconfield.

Both Capalex and Forth are proud to provide employment and training locally and to develop the capability of their people. Both also have ambitious plans for the future built on decades of innovation, collaboration and delivering world-first solutions to industry challenges.

These are just two exciting examples of several SMEs, businesses and organisations across West Cumbria which give iSH every confidence in delivering on its mission to facilitate a diverse commercial cluster that harnesses the unique skills of the region and creates sustainable opportunities for the direct benefit of the people of Cumbria and the UK economy.

Our Managing Director John Maddison said: “Our thanks go to Trudy for taking time out of her busy schedule to visit iSH and for taking such a keen interest in our activity to support the regional and national economy and how that in turn benefits our local communities. 

“Thanks also to the teams at Capalex and Forth for sharing their own expertise, innovations and plans which will help drive the area forward and demonstrates the enormous potential of what iSH and partners can achieve at the iSH Enterprise Campus and beyond.”

Trudy Harrison said: “It was fascinating to hear how through collaboration iSH will further develop world-class capability across the region, including from a campus at Leconfield, which will lead to more diverse employment, skills and training opportunities widely accessible to the people of Copeland and which will have a direct benefit to our communities and environment.

“In Capalex and Forth it was also exciting to see first-hand how two innovative businesses – proud to have their bases in Cleator Moor – are achieving success on the national and global stage. Congratulations must go to them and all companies in Copeland who through the expertise and skills of their people, and innovative, solution-focused, forward thinking, are achieving that success and helping the region become known for its industrial capability.

“I was delighted to support Copeland Borough Council’s recent successful bid to the Levelling Up Fund for the iSH Enterprise Campus and look forward to returning in the near future to see how iSH and organisations in the region are continuing to progress at pace and maximising the exciting potential this Government investment brings for the benefit of the whole area.”

iSH Managing Director John Maddison opened up opportunities for future collaboration to help the wider West Cumbria economy when he attended the Nuclear Week in Parliament at the beginning of the month.

John attended four fantastic sessions – the Urenco Global Panel Event: ‘Generation Climate – Embracing the Voices of Youth in Nuclear’ hosted by Virginia Crosbie; Rolls-Royce SMR: ‘Ask an Engineer’ hosted by Stevenson, John; the British Nuclear Showcase Reception hosted by Lord Iain McNicol, and the Skills and Apprenticeships Fair hosted by Charlotte Nichols.

John said: “It was inspirational to see Cumbria so well represented at the careers fair, including some brilliant apprentices and graduates who have benefited from our fantastic network of local colleges. It was great to see them representing their organisations so well at the Houses of Parliament.”

All the events were offered an important opportunity to hear about the vast array of world-class work going on in the nuclear industry across the length and breadth of the country.

iSH looks forward to working with others on how best to move forward with innovation and collaboration, ensuring that there are clear pathways into training and employment and that opportunities are maximised to regenerate communities across West Cumbria.

AN initiative which recently won £40m backing to help create more than 700 jobs across West Cumbria has made its second appointment to its own team.

Hannah Pears, who is passionate about working with partner organisations to give young people the best possible life chances, has joined iSH (the Industrial Solutions Hub) as Education Liaison Officer.

Hannah, from Whitehaven, has spent the last 11 years working to give young people opportunities in education and employment having worked with Northumbria University, University of Cumbria, Lakes College, The University of Law, and Hello Future, a partnership of universities, colleges and employers working to improve access for young people to higher education in Cumbria.

“I am really excited to start with iSH,” said Hannah. “iSH is such an important programme for the people of West Cumbria. It’s great to be involved from the beginning.

“Having worked with many young people through education and outreach, I am passionate that every young person should have the support they need to access opportunities.

“I think in many ways life is getting harder for young people wherever they live.

“Social media comes with its negatives. Youth clubs and youth experiences have been cut to almost non-existent over the last ten years. 

“Young people have also had to experience education turbulence and social disruption during the pandemic.

“Then when you look at West Cumbria where young people can be so isolated because of the infrastructure, you realise that it can be even harder here.

“That’s why I am so determined that young people here should be able to access opportunities and cultural experiences to benefit themselves and the communities around them for the future.

“When I first talked to John Maddison (iSH Managing Director) and Steve Wilkinson (iSH Operations Director) we were talking about robotics and AI and it inspired me.

“I think it’s brilliant that iSH will be helping give young people access to big city opportunities and bringing that to their doorstep and showcasing what the future can hold for them.

“I also love that iSH is all about collaboration. It’s not about doing all of this ourselves. It’s about working with local partnerships and employers to fill in the gaps.

“My role is to make sure that, through collaboration, young people who might otherwise not have had opportunities, will have clear pathways and the support they need to access training and employment that iSH will help create across the region.

“That’s what I will be focusing on and working with other organisations and groups to help make that happen.”

Brought up in Caldbeck, and having attended Caldew School, Dalston, near Carlisle, Hannah has lived in Cumbria and Newcastle.

John Maddison, iSH Managing Director said: “We are delighted to welcome Hannah to the team. She has lots of expertise and experience of helping young people, who might otherwise get overlooked, access opportunities, which is such a vital part of our programme.

“Hannah also brings that energy, enthusiasm and ability to collaborate with other organisations, businesses and individuals, which is the way we work at iSH, mapping the gaps and then working with others to enhance the region’s capability.

“It is an approach which is enabling us to press ahead with initiatives which are bringing opportunities to businesses, organisations and people of all ages in the region.”

Hannah is the second of ten initial appointments iSH is making as it builds its team to deliver a programme to create more than 700 jobs, enabling industry, businesses, academia, and community to come together and collaborate to enhance skills, increase capabilities, and regenerate communities across West Cumbria.

Latest job opportunities with iSH include: Regional Representative, Operations Director, Investment Lead and Senior Project Manager.

There will also be roles for a Project Controls Officer, Business Liaison Officer, Community Liaison Officer and a Project Management Apprentice.

These latest positions come on the back of iSH opening its office in Cleator Moor town centre where it has appointed Lynn Huddart as its Office Manager.

John Maddison said: “As we build our team we will further accelerate our work to bring a range of economic and social benefits to the community through projects which will create training and employment opportunities and have a positive impact on people, the economy, and the environment.

“As with our first two appointments we are looking for people in these latest eight roles who share our passion and ethos for making this happen.”

Last month £20m of Levelling Up Fund investment was awarded by government to Copeland Borough Council for the iSH Enterprise Campus, to fund phase two of redevelopment at Leconfield, Cleator Moor.

iSH is also supported in its activity by funding from Cleator Moor Town Deal Board which, working with Copeland Borough Council, secured a provisional offer of £22.5 million from the Government’s £3.6 billion Towns Fund initiative last year. 

As well as being supported by Copeland Borough Council, iSH is also backed by Sellafield Ltd, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership.

iSH isn’t a place. It is about a place.

iSH Managing Director John Maddison is keen to stress the difference.

iSH is about making a positive difference to people’s lives, to the economy and the environment across the whole of West Cumbria and the soon-to-be Cumberland region.

It will achieve that by building capability through collaboration, creating jobs, which will in turn regenerate our communities, our place.

It is anticipated that 700 jobs will be created at the iSH Enterprise Campus (iEC) alone, by creating opportunities for businesses and organisations to collaborate, enhancing skills and capabilities.

But iSH isn’t all about the iSH Enterprise Campus (iEC), Phase 1 of which is due to be delivered in two years time by Copeland Borough Council, owner of the Leconfield Industrial Estate where it will be situated. The iEC campus is an important part of the business ecosystem we are looking to help create. But it’s about far more than that.

iSH is about joining the dots – a way of working together, connecting what already exists across multiple places in West Cumbria in industry, business, research and development, academia, charities and communities to multiply the opportunities created and ensure potentially life-changing chances are open to, and inclusive for, all sections of our society.

iSH is about maps and gaps – mapping what already exists so as not to duplicate the great work already being carried out by so many individuals and organisations across the region, mapping a view of what the future may bring and what may be needed to deliver that future and then encouraging collaboration to fill any gaps – such as in capability.

We are here to enable growth and the three pillars that lead to it – Collaboration, Innovation, and Diversification – maximising the opportunities which the West Cumbria supply chain can capatilise upon and building on that nuclear decommissioning capability, much of it linked in some way to Sellafield’s presence, to apply that innovative solution-focused expertise to other industries across the region, the UK and around the world.

And, most of all, iSH is about ensuring the outcome of all those jobs and opportunities delivers a positive sustainable difference to our communities.

Working in collaboration with our partners we have already started delivering opportunities.

We joined forces with DASA and FIS360 to hold an event at Rosehill Theatre, Whitehaven last month to help SMEs in the region understand how they can access work and funding in the defence and security sectors.

We played our part in welcoming local authority officials from Fukushima, Japan to West Cumbria last week to demonstrate the capability of businesses and organisations across the area and to showcase the region’s expertise to the world.

We have fulfilled our pledge to operate from the heart of the community by recently opening our iSH office in the centre of Cleator Moor.

We have also said that we will create opportunities for local people within our own organisation and we are delighted to have made the first, of what will be several appointments over the next six months, by welcoming Lynn Huddart from Cleator Moor to our team as office manager. We thank Lynn for already making a positive difference.

It has a busy time for iSH, rolling up our sleeves and getting on with doing and delivering.

But this is only the beginning. There are more exciting days and weeks ahead.

Cleator Moor is to receive £40.9m in funding for its ambitious Town Deal programme, it has been announced today.

The government has confirmed an award of £22.5m and an additional £18.4m has been secured from match funders.

The huge financial boost follows the submission of four exciting projects to the Department for Levelling Up, Communities and Housing in July.

It means the projects – that will provide long-term benefits to the town’s health and wealth, whilst boosting employment opportunities and inward investment – can now be delivered.

Bob Metcalfe, chair of the Cleator Moor Town Deal Board, said: “The future for Cleator Moor is very bright. The funding we have secured will allow our four projects – which will touch on every aspect of life in the town – to move forward.

“This is a watershed moment for the town, made possible by the hard work, commitment and expertise of many people, whom I would like to thank for their input, passion and professionalism.

“Health, wellbeing, inward investment, jobs, skills, connectivity and much more will be positively impacted as work begins on these projects. It’s a great time to be a resident of Cleator Moor.”

Copeland Borough Council’s Executive Committee has also welcomed the news.

Mike Starkie, the Mayor of Copeland, said: “This is a fantastic result for Cleator Moor and its residents. Opportunities to access funding on this scale rarely present themselves for towns of this size.

“To have successfully secured the money required to deliver four exciting and transformational projects is incredible, and a testament to the hard work put in by so many over the last year.

“I would also like to place on record my sincere thanks to the match funders. Together they have contributed a significant sum of money that will make a real and tangible difference to Cleator Moor.”

Working with Copeland Borough Council, the Cleator Moor Town Deal Board secured a provisional offer of £22.5 million from the Government’s £3.6 billion Towns Fund initiative last summer.

Business cases, which confirm the positive impact and long-lasting benefits the projects will deliver, were approved by the government after being signed off by the Town Deal Board and Copeland Borough Council.

The promised government money will now be unlocked over the next four years.

Significant match funding sums have also been pledged by the NDA, Sellafield, and the Copeland Community Fund.

Further contributions have been made by Copeland Borough Council, Cleator Moor Town Council and Regen North East Copeland.

The four projects included in the Town Deal are:

• Enterprising Town – the redevelopment of the existing Leconfield Industrial Estate to provide employment and training opportunities for residents in Cleator Moor as well as helping to diversify the local economy. The proposal will create new buildings on site including an Enterprise Campus Hub, the refurbishment of existing units and extensive landscaping. The development of the site forms part of the wider regeneration programme being delivered across West Cumbria by iSH, the Industrial Solutions Hub.
• Revitalised Town – to increase activity and footfall around the Town Square by bringing vacant and under-utilised buildings back into active use while creating an attractive new public realm. Uses will include a new cultural community hub and enhanced business space.
• Healthy Town – To enhance existing sports and leisure provision to create a modern multi-purpose centre including an indoor sports hall, flexible studio space, gym and café, alongside wider health and well-being provision. This will improve population health and generate more reasons for people to visit and spend time in Cleator Moor.
• Connected Town – this scheme will deliver a high-quality integrated and sustainable transport network which improves connections between employment, education, amenities and leisure and transforms the accessibility and attractiveness of Cleator Moor.

Today is a great day for Cleator Moor and the surrounding West Cumbria region, and one which iSH is delighted to be able to celebrate with the community.

Congratulations to everyone at Copeland Borough Council, Cleator Moor Town Deal Board and all partners for playing their part in securing £40.9m – £22.5m from government and an additional £18.4m from match funders – to deliver four transformational projects.

It’s a fantastic result which creates a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a positive difference to people’s lives.

One of those projects, Enterprising Town, the redevelopment of the existing Leconfield Industrial Estate, forms part of iSH’s wider regeneration programme across West Cumbria, which will have a positive impact on people, the economy, and the environment.

Our managing director John Maddison said: “This is brilliant news for the whole community of Cleator Moor.

“Congratulations to everyone at Copeland Borough Council and Cleator Moor Town Deal Board who helped make this happen.

“The Cleator Moor community and the area’s business community have already played an active role in supporting iSH’s ambitions.

“With today’s funding announcement, it’s now all systems go for the Enterprising Town campus which is a key component of our wider programme across the region.

“We are fully focused on creating jobs, opportunities for businesses and organisations to collaborate, enhance skills, and bring a range of economic and social benefits to the community.

“These are truly exciting times for Cleator Moor and the surrounding area. The time is now to roll up our sleeves and get cracking to deliver for the whole community.”

An event will take place in Cumbria next month to help Cumbrian businesses access opportunities in Defence and other industries.

iSH (Industrial Solutions Hub) has joined forces with FIS360 and the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) to share how businesses can work with them.

Attendees will also be able to find out what funding opportunities are available to work across different industry sectors.

The “Innovation for the future – right here, right now” event takes place at Rosehill Theatre, Whitehaven on Tuesday, November 8, 10am start.

Delegates will hear from a range of speakers, including Jonathan Jones, Innovation Partner, Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA), for a discussion on what opportunities in Defence mean for Cumbrian businesses.

DASA finds and funds exploitable innovation to support UK defence and security quickly and effectively, and support UK prosperity. DASA’s vision is for the UK to have strategic advantage through the most innovative defence and security capabilities in the world, welcoming ideas from innovators small and large, providing support to those who have not previously worked with Government.

FIS360 is a Cumbria-based SME formed in 2013. The company has an exceptional reputation for designing and delivering successful innovation programmes and for helping small businesses and organisations through the challenges of technology commercialisation. Independent and international, the work of FIS360 extends across the UK and Europe with activities in North America and previously as far as the Middle East. Its engagement extends across many industrial sectors including nuclear, chemical processing, computer modelling, robotics, renewables.

There will be a Q&A session featuring all the speakers and a chance to book 1-1 sessions after a networking lunch.

John Maddison, Managing Director of iSH, said: “Collaboration and innovation are key to the Cumbrian business community maximising opportunities to grow and diversify in a range of sectors and across different regions.

“By working alongside DASA and FIS360, we are delighted to bring these opportunities to Cumbria and provide opportunities for businesses to learn about how they can work with different industries.

“We know there are amazing businesses in Cumbria achieving brilliant results and we want to give as many organisations as possible opportunities to grow and build an even more sustainable business ecosystem across the county.

“We hope to spark that conversation by bringing opportunities to their doorstep and giving business leaders a chance to discuss how these opportunities might have a positive impact on their business, their people and their community.”

Young apprentices are being given a unique training experience through a new collaboration between two world-renowned organisations.

Teenagers Ellis Doran and Tyler Lister have become the first Cumbrian control systems engineer apprentices at Jacobs, the global technology-forward solutions company, through a partnership with Sellafield which will see them join the current cohort of seven apprentices learning their trade at Sellafield’s Engineering Centre of Excellence.

As part of Sellafield’s plans to expand its annual training programme which welcomes a new intake of apprentices each year, Dave Jones, the company’s head of Operational Technology Group (OTG), approached Jacobs and asked if it would be interested in collaborating on its apprenticeship pathway programme, which would leverage the benefits each company can offer the students.

The apprentices will predominantly learn their trade at Sellafield’s Centre of Excellence facility at Leconfield Industrial Estate in Cleator Moor but will also benefit from training from experts at Jacobs throughout the course.

Dave said: “As part of our training programme, we have seven apprentices working from our centre of excellence facility so we thought it made sense to extend this to accommodate two more from Jacobs.

“The partnership is about growing the capabilities of businesses across West Cumbria, not just Sellafield, to help all local companies improve and develop their skill sets.

“This collaboration has many benefits as the apprentices will receive ongoing training from Sellafield, while also gaining specialist training from the brilliant team at Jacobs.

“It’s a very exciting partnership and it’s all about sharing resources and facilities to make sure local companies can continue to grow and expand their services.”

In the space of two years, the control system apprenticeship programme at Sellafield’s Centre of Excellence has more than doubled from four students to ten this year.

Mark Quin, Technical Manager at Jacobs, said the partnership was of great mutual benefit and forging collaborations with local companies would support the world pioneering work being carried out in West Cumbria.

He said: “Working with Sellafield’s Centre of Excellence to provide our apprentices a more rounded and mature pathway is a huge advantage to our capability within Jacobs.

“Through excellent relationships with Dave’s team, we have been able to tailor the pathway to benefit both our new apprentices and improve the already market leading pathway that Sellafield has created through support from supply chain members and the varied project lifecycle offering.

“This collaboration creates an innovative culture where client-contractor relationships are uniquely improved to provide a more efficient and agile delivery model, by building early networks and improving stakeholder management and engagement.

“I am excited to see this collaboration grow and to raise the profile of the discipline where we are attracting the best talent to support the industry for years to come.”

More than 700 jobs are set to be created across West Cumbria as a result of the newly launched community regeneration initiative iSH (Industrial Solutions Hub).

The Copeland Borough Council-backed initiative will bring employment, skills and training opportunities to the area, and encourages collaboration between local businesses, organisations and education providers.

iSH Managing Director John Maddison said: “This partnership between Sellafield and Jacobs is a perfect example of how companies can work together to upskill their workforce and provide innovative training opportunities to young people in the area.

“By sharing resources, businesses across West Cumbria can showcase the excellent capabilities of the local workforce and provide more solutions to industry problems across the world.”

A multi-million pound refurbishment of Leconfield Industrial Estate is planned as part of iSH’s vision to regenerate communities in West Cumbria.

A future innovation campus site was the focus of the UK drone community for an event looking at how cutting edge technology can be used across a range of industries.

Sellafield Ltd’s Engineering Centre of Excellence at Cleator Moor, Cumbria, hosted a national COMIT2drones (C2D), event earlier this month when representatives from a range of industries and SMEs shared ideas on opportunities to deploy the latest drone technology.

The centre is based at Leconfield Industrial Estate where iSH (Industrial Solutions Hub) plans to develop a programme of cross-industry collaboration and innovation which will lead to 700 new jobs.

Amanda Smith, UAV Equipment Programme Lead for Sellafield Ltd, hosted the Power Up Sellafield event which attracted 30 representatives from across the UK, including drone specialists such Cyberhawk, Vantage UAV Group, COPTRZ, and Herotech8, as well as industry representatives such as Jacobs, Kier and National Highways.

The event showcased Sellafield’s capabilities through its Remote Technologies Group, which includes UAVs, ROVs and Robotics.

Amanda and her Sellafield team of highly-skilled equipment engineers/remote pilots flew more than 200 asset inspection flights in 2021 delivering in excess of £5m cost avoidance savings.

Most of the flights were at Sellafield. But leading the way in UAV innovation in the UK nuclear industry, Amanda’s team has also carried out flights at other Nuclear Decommissioning Authority sites at Bradwell, Essex, and Sizewell in Suffolk. Sellafield’s ROV team have also carried out work at Dounreay in Caithness, Scotland.

At the Power Up Sellafield event held at Cleator Moor, Amanda shared learnings with delegates by demonstrating her team’s expertise, the type of work they are carrying out, and the positive difference it is making in safety, time and money savings, and improving productivity.

Dave Jones, Sellafield Ltd’s head of Operational Technology Group (OTG),

and Kev Rishworth, Delivery Manager at Sellafield’s Engineering Centre of Excellence representing Engineering Development Solutions, also both gave talks to delegates about innovations across different parts of the business.

COMIT2drones attendees shared their own experiences and discussed opportunities to collaborate in the future.

Amanda said afterwards: “I am elated with the way the event went. It was amazing to see our base in West Cumbria pulling in all these experts from all over the UK.

“What was great to see was how amazed they are at what we can deliver, both on Sellafield site and off site.

“The big advantage we have is that as well as being governed by the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) we also have to meet the extra hurdles of the nuclear safety case. It means that if you can achieve something with drones at Sellafield you should be able to achieve it anywhere else.

“We achieve that with the support of our supply chain partners such as Global Drone Training, PAR Systems, and Forth.

“By working together in collaboration with the supply chain across multiple industries, and talking to members of the COMIT2drones community, we can help solve each other’s problems.”

COMIT2drones is the UK home for professional drone technology and services companies that operate in construction and infrastructure. Members are drawn from a wide variety of organisations and solutions providers.

Tony Shooter, chair of COMIT2drones , said: “The UAV Team at Sellafield Ltd delivered an outstanding event.  Their skilful, structured and insightful portrait of Sellafield left no one in doubt that the team is truly a pioneer in the COMIT2drone community.

“The feedback from members has been fantastic with a real appreciation of the team’s achievements and commitment to setting the standards and embracing shared learning across our group.

“It was a great day at the Engineering Centre of Excellence.  A venue and team that certainly lived up to its name.”

John Maddison, Managing Director of iSH which will have a campus at Leconfield as it looks to help organisations and businesses grow through collaboration across industry, SMEs, academia and the community, said: “It’s brilliant to see events such as this taking place at Leconfield and is why we are so excited about what can be achieved through iSH.

“It’s part of our ambition to enhance capabilities in robotics and artificial intelligence, engage SMEs with opportunities across a range of industries to help solve global challenges, and promote West Cumbria to the world.

“We are lucky to have a workforce with unique skills across the region and events like this show that building that capability is all achievable through people who are passionate about innovation and collaboration.”
