Cumbrian business consortium announce commitment to their communities as they launch new initiative ‘Resolve’
A COMMITMENT to their communities was made by four West Cumbrian businesses at the launch of their joint venture to offer end-to-end engineering services.
Resolve Engineered Solutions is a collaboration of the expertise of Forth, React Engineering, PAR Systems and Cumbria Operations and Maintenance Service Ltd (COMS), marking a significant step change in how the nuclear industry can access high value capabilities.
The companies recognise that the communities they work and live in have got them to where they are today and they are ensuring, from day one, that these communities benefit from their combined successes.
The four founding companies of Resolve Engineered Solutions are each recognised for their high-quality offerings and unique strengths. Through this collaboration, they are poised to provide a holistic and efficient approach to tackling complex engineering challenges.
At the launch event on Thursday evening, those behind Resolve announced they would be supporting Whitehaven Rugby League team by sponsoring a sleeve, taking pupils from Frizington and Cleator Moor to Oxford next year and working closely with the Goodlives project in Whitehaven.
Mark Telford, Managing Director at Forth, said: “If Resolve works the way we hope it will, we want the money we bring in to stay here, the work to stay here in Cumbria, and the benefit to be felt by Cumbrians. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the support of our communities and workforce and as a collective we are determined to give something back.”
Resolve Engineered Solutions is set to make a distinctive impact for several reasons:
The joint venture brings together React Engineering, the strategic project planner; Forth, the innovative engineering powerhouse; PAR Systems, the mechanical handling experts with a global reputation; and COMS, the pre-operations, commissioning, and integration specialist. This combination of skills enables Resolve to deliver end-to-end solutions.
Resolve's formation signifies a holistic approach to engineering challenges. By synergising the expertise of these four companies, clients can benefit from a streamlined and cohesive solution that addresses every aspect of a project.
The very essence of the name, ‘Resolve’, underscores the commitment to surmounting industry challenges.
Kayleigh Daniels from React Engineering said the time was right to form Resolve as the landscape for SME’s constantly changes and evolves and they have to adapt to the challenges of the sector.
She added: “By bringing together our unique capabilities and offering this complete package we will make it harder for people to compete against us. We are all based in Cumbria, local to the Sellafield site and the benefits flow down to the community.”
John McGibbon, Managing Director at PAR Systems, set out to the guests how the companies had already been working on a number of decommissioning projects together in recent years, but now they’ll be able to bid for work as the largest tier three company with a combined 200+ employees.
Cliff Woodman, Business Director, COMS said: “Coming together will also mean that we can access sectors that the other companies work in. It’ll give us all the chance to grow, and try something new too as well as offering the full package to clients.”
The founding companies' extensive experience and track record underscore the potential of Resolve Engineered Solutions. Clients, including those in complex industries like nuclear, can anticipate an unparalleled level of service that integrates all elements of project delivery.
