Capula celebrates a successful 2011
Capula is increasing its SQEP staff with proven nuclear skills
Year ends with c£32m in new contracts won across markets
Capula is celebrating another excellent year for the company. We enjoyed booking success across all our markets and ended the year with c£32million in new contracts won in 2011. Combined with the previous year’s recordbreaking orders volume, this provides a substantial overall order book from which to continue to drive our growth. "Capula’s success this year has been the result of our unique positioning in our energyrelated markets together with the tremendous efforts of our staff," said Chief Executive Roger Turner. “Whilst the overall marketplace remains a very challenging one, our company has grown by some 80 people this year, and we look forward to continued growth in 2012." The Nuclear sector had key success with a number of high-value, large scale contracts won. In response to this and the continued investment we expect to see in this industry over the next
decade, we expanded our Nuclear Services operation to include a new dedicated, secure facility in Stone (Beacon House) and set about increasing our number of SQEP staff with proven nuclear skills. We saw continued success in the Utilities sector of our business, where we followed up the landmark contracts won in 2010 with additional key projects won with these clients. Our work with advanced technology continued through the provision of support for some of the UK’s first smart grid initiatives. Furthermore, Capula built on its fine reputation in the Generation sector through continuing to win renewable energy and biomass projects.
Winning these projects alongside our excellent delivery record is underpinning our position as the leading specialist in delivering integrated automation and real-time IT solutions in the UK.
Beacon House opens for business
Capula has announced the opening of a new office in Stone, Staffordshire, which will serve as a dedicated facility for our nuclear-related projects. The move reflects the company's commitment to the Nuclear industry, and intention to develop its increasing involvement in the UK's energy strategy. "We expect to see significant growth in the Nuclear industry over the next decade or so," explains Chief Executive Roger Turner, "Nuclear power is set to be an integral part of the UK's energy mix and with that comes obvious opportunities in fuel reprocessing, waste management, life extension and decommissioning.
"Our expertise in safety systems, health monitoring, radiological surveillance and materials tracking has led to us playing an important role in the Nuclear industry over the past twenty years and more. By expanding our operation in this area we will have the necessary resource to successfully deliver more mission critical solutions for our clients."
