Dave Polkey Associates Ltd Mission
The Purpose for Our Existence and Our Relentless Drive for Efficiency in the Nuclear Sector
Simplifying the Unnecessarily Complicated
The Nuclear Industry can be a daunting place to work. It is highly technical and the consequences of getting something wrong can be considerable. However, it is sometimes guilty of overcomplicating its systems and processes which impact on the ability of all to do things efficiently and cost effectively. It needn’t be this way, and so it is the goal of Dave Polkey Associates Ltd to work with the industry to strip out needless complication, drive innovation and ultimately make the industry a bastion for efficiency and cost effectiveness.
Dave Polkey Associates Ltd Destiny
What We Are Destined to Be
Dave Polkey Associates Ltd launches on the 1st January 2022. Its at this time that we expect to start to influence the way things happen in the Nuclear Industry.
Site Licence Companies and Governing bodies will be keen to work with us because they recognize that by engaging with us they can start to remove some unnecessary bureaucracy that has hindered efficient delivery for years and also that we provide a valuable link to smaller organisations that have the answers to problems that have dogged the industry for years.
Larger contractors will want to engage with us to understand how to approach working on a nuclear licenced site, what can and can’t be done in a way that works in the non-nuclear environment, and what SME’s have the solutions to problems they keep encountering. This will help improve performance on existing contracts and greatly enhance ‘win’ prospects for new tenders.
Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s) will seek us out knowing that we have the connections and contacts to facilitate growth in the sector through the creation of beneficial partnerships and alliances. There turnover and profitability will increase as a direct result of working with us.
Dave Polkey Associates Ltd is destined to be the ‘word’ for enabling efficient and cost-effective delivery in the nuclear sector.
