Case Study

SDS Director, Nigel Gass explains how their services & expertise play a vital role in the Hinkley Point C supply chain network.

The situation

A large number of Somerset based companies are actively involved in the construction of Hinkley Point C.  The first in a new generation of nuclear power stations. Many of these locally based companies (including Somerset Passenger Solutions, HOST Somerset and Somerset Larder) are vital Tier 1 contractors and need support in their role.

SDS Limited have become an invaluable part of the Hinkley Supply Chain, building on an enviable reputation as a reliable and professional supplier of premium office equipment.   We supply photocopiers, laser printers, document scanners and wide format printers. We also provide all their copy, print and scan needs, which includes a print management solution to control volumes and eliminate waste.  Any servicing and support is carried out by our team of manufacturer trained engineers from our offices in Edington near Bridgwater.

The SDS solution

Our clients benefit from personal account management which ensures everything is delivered as promised. Cutting edge print management software and workflow applications assist invoice approval, electronic document storage and retrieval.

The long-term benefits

The Hinkley Point C project continues to create opportunities for companies of all sizes throughout Somerset, the South West and South Wales.

“There is a genuine willingness to try and support local business and that is very refreshing for a project of this scale. We are extremely proud of our association with HPC.”
