Mark Ealing Consulting
Strategic advisory for the UK nuclear sector
Helping organisations navigate the nuclear market with confidence — from supply chain entry and regulatory readiness to M&A integration and programme strategy.
Chartered Engineer | SC Cleared | Full nuclear lifecycle experience
The UK nuclear sector is growing.
Is your organisation ready?
Sizewell C is under construction. Hinkley Point C is in advanced build. The SMR programme is accelerating. Defence nuclear investment continues to expand.
For organisations across the supply chain, this is a generational opportunity. But the nuclear sector doesn’t open its doors easily. The regulatory environment is demanding, safety culture expectations are exacting, and the relationships that unlock opportunities take time and credibility to build.
I help organisations navigate that journey — so you can move faster, avoid costly missteps, and compete for nuclear work with confidence.
how i help
how i work
Every engagement starts with a conversation. I’ll listen, ask the right questions, and give you an honest assessment of where I can add value — and where I can’t.
From there, I typically work in three phases:
1
Understand
Diagnostic assessment of your current position, capability gaps, and strategic objectives. Evidence-based, not assumptions.
You get clarity on where you stand and what needs to change.
2
Design
Clear, practical recommendations with prioritised actions, realistic timescales, and measurable outcomes.
Strategy that can actually be delivered — not a slide deck that sits on a shelf.
3
Deliver
Hands-on support through implementation. I stay involved until the work is embedded and delivering results.
You get real change, not just advice.
Engagements range from short-term strategic reviews (2–4 weeks) to longer advisory partnerships (3–6 months). I’m flexible on format and always focused on outcomes.
