IT service provider, Yellowbus Solutions Ltd, based at Warrington’s Birchwood Park has joined forces with the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) to improve how network and IT services are delivered to end users within the nuclear industry.
Birchwood Park business park is home to some 49 companies within the nuclear, engineering and science industries and Yellowbus boasts some of the best IT service offerings within the nuclear and engineering sectors.
The partnership between the National Nuclear Laboratory and Yellowbus Solutions will continue with a view to seeing continued improvement to uptime and efficiency in support of NNL’s road to innovation in its IT journey.
NNL was formally established in 2008 and brought together the UK’s nuclear research and development capability into one organisation. Its workforce represents a combined 10,000 hours of expertise in nuclear science and technology.
As part of the ongoing project, NNL is looking to make improvements across all areas of the business to support its overall objectives, with IT/Tech being an area for focus.
Mike Douglass, commercial director at Yellowbus, said: “We want to change the way the nuclear sector views IT and Technology. Tech should be looked at as a business advantage and used to its full potential.
“When business objectives are aligned with the correct IT strategy, then business growth and innovation will improve. We have worked with NNL for many years and have similar goals on innovation within nuclear.
“We have had the opportunity to support NNL’s mission with their IT improvement projects, and with both businesses now being located within the Science corridor at Birchwood Park, we look forward to a long and successful partnership with them.’
Nichola Newton, head of IT at NNL, said: “Yellowbus has been a fundamental partner in supporting the National Nuclear Laboratory IT department’s commitment to improve network coverage and resilience across all of its sites. Yellowbus continues to understand NNL IT needs and collaborates effectively to ensure these are achieved.”
Martin O’Rourke, commercial director at Birchwood Park, said: “We love to see collaborations forming between our occupiers on the park, and believe it’s what sets Birchwood Park ahead of the rest. With a burgeoning community of businesses based within the nuclear, engineering and wider science industries, there are definitely exciting things happening here. We look forward to seeing the successes for both Yellowbus Solutions and NNL as a result of this partnership.”
