HPC Supply Chain Engagement & Site Tour

HPC Supply Chain Engagement & Site Tour

Join us for a morning of presentations, networking, and an exclusive sealed bus tour of the Hinkley Point C site.

This event brings together local suppliers 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 take part in facilitated 1-to-1 networking sessions with key contractors.

The event concludes with a guide sealed bus tour of the Hinkley Point C site, providing a unique opportunity to view the scale and progress of the project.

Delegates will be collected from HPC Cannington Park & Ride.
