The construction of Sizewell C on the East Anglian coast is claimed to be on a similar scale to that undertaken for the 2012 Olympic Games. It mirrors the Hinkley Point C development in Somerset, where EDF Energy, which owns both sites, says: ”at least 5,000 jobs for Somerset people are expected during the construction".

In this episode of ChatBiz we’re examining the impact of Sizewell C and the potential opportunities for local businesses. We’re talking to Tom McGarry of EDF Energy and Miles Varton of the Chamber of Commerce who are responsible for ensuring that local businesses are made aware of Sizewell C and the supply chain database where local businesses can go to register an interest.
