Nuvia, a global leader in nuclear engineering, decommissioning, and health physics, has strategically relocated its Oxfordshire operations to Milton Park, one of the UK’s foremost innovation hubs. This move positions the company at the heart of a thriving ecosystem focused on science, technology, and clean energy while enhancing career opportunities in the nuclear sector.

A Strategic Relocation for Growth

With over 2,800 employees worldwide, Nuvia operates across highly regulated and sensitive industrial and nuclear sites. Its relocation to Milton Park reflects a commitment to both innovation and workforce flexibility. The company’s new office space is designed to foster collaboration and features a modern, open-plan layout with state-of-the-art facilities, including a fully equipped kitchen and flexible work pods.

Nuvia’s presence in Oxfordshire is deeply rooted in the region’s nuclear, science, and technology legacy. The new site strengthens its proximity to key industry partners such as the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), The National College of Nuclear, and EDF in the South West.

Greg Antill, Nuvia’s Health Physics Director, emphasized the strategic importance of the move: “Staying within Oxfordshire was important for us due to the county’s legacy and prominence in the UK’s nuclear, science, and technology sectors. With The UKAEA close by and easy access to the likes of The National College of Nuclear and EDF in the South West, the region is a real hub for the nuclear sector. Our new Milton Park base puts us in close proximity to our key partners.”

Advancing Clean Energy and Innovation

Nuvia’s relocation aligns with its mission to drive advancements in nuclear technology, including its exploration of a Radioisotope Production Facility for the Welsh Government. This facility, if realized, would produce medical radioisotopes from its own research reactor, supplying healthcare providers across the UK and internationally.

Antill highlighted Nuvia’s continuous expansion and innovation efforts: “As with the radioisotope project, we are continually on the lookout for new services to complement and expand our offering. That growth mindset has seen our team expand by over 100 people in the last ten months and we have similar ambitions next year.”

Milton Park’s vibrant cluster of life science and green energy companies, including Tokamak Energy’s pioneering work in nuclear fusion, presents exciting opportunities for collaboration. Nuvia’s new base places it in a strong position to leverage this ecosystem and drive forward developments in clean energy.

Supporting a Dynamic Workforce

The relocation not only supports Nuvia’s business growth but also prioritizes employee well-being. By adopting hybrid working models, the company’s new office environment offers a secure and comfortable workspace, benefiting from Milton Park’s extensive amenities, sustainable transport links, and green spaces. These factors contribute to a flexible and productive work culture that attracts top talent in the industry.

Tom Booker, Commercial Manager at MEPC Milton Park, welcomed Nuvia to the innovation community: “We worked closely with Nuvia throughout the move to ensure the relocation was as seamless as possible. Their new facility responds to the complex, secure nature of the sector they work in, whilst catering to their approach to hybrid working.”

Strengthening the UK’s Clean Energy Future

As the UK intensifies its focus on clean and green energy solutions, Nuvia’s presence at Milton Park marks a significant step in the country’s nuclear sector. The move underscores the importance of collaboration between nuclear technology leaders and sustainability-driven innovators, fostering a dynamic environment for progress.

Booker further emphasized Milton Park’s role in advancing sustainable technology: “Joining like-minded innovators like Tokamak, the company is an ideal fit for our growing cluster of clean and green energy occupiers. We are delighted to welcome Nuvia and hope they can make the most of the partnerships on their new doorstep.”

Nuvia’s move to Milton Park is more than just a relocation; it’s a strategic investment in the future of nuclear innovation, workforce development, and clean energy solutions. With its new base, the company is poised to play a key role in shaping the next generation of sustainable nuclear technology.
