Where Energy Meets Business

"As a micro business member of the cluster, I feel like part of something bigger; part of a group who have my best interests at heart.

You get out what you put in, as with all these things; I have gained a network of friends and champions."

Lucy Harrison, Harrison Network Ltd

As a new member of BECBC, I have been very encouraged by the welcome and support I have received so far.  My first event was the Nuclear Sector Group, and it was a really strong introduction to the membership.  I found the group genuinely interesting, well run, and a great way to start gaining insight into the sector whilst also making new connections.

What has stood out most to me is how friendly, approachable and supportive BECBC has been from the beginning.  That matters when you are joining something new, and it has certainly helped me feel part of the network quickly.

I would also like to mention Elizabeth Bowe, who has been fantastic in helping open doors to new opportunities, making introductions, and connecting me with the right people.  That kind of support makes a real difference and has added a lot of value to my membership already.

Overall, my experience so far has been extremely positive, and I am looking forward to getting more involved over the months ahead.

"It's the information that we get through at the meetings. It's very hard to get access to the right type of people that you want to speak to, at the right levels. And that's what we've been given through BECBC. So that we're talking with friends rather than trying to approach different companies".

Garry Smith, Sales Director, Thomas Graham

I just wanted to reach out and express my gratitude for the fantastic member benefit of tender and opportunity identification support. I caught up with Liz yesterday and after spending some time talking through our business model and focus I received an email jam packed with contacts and opportunities, one of which proved immediately successful. 

I’d encourage any member not currently using this facility to reach out and book some time with Liz!

Britain’s Energy Coast Business Cluster (BECBC) provides a regular, welcoming series of engagements for the supply chain, keeping us informed of opportunities and key client progress. It encourages collaboration between nuclear and non-nuclear members, from large clients to sole traders, and integrates local suppliers with national ones to explore opportunities. It continues to have huge support across the supply chain.
