Nuclear Delivery
Workforce Advisory
Embedded Delivery
Most advisory firms study your sector. We work inside it.
£20B+ of planned. investment. New build, SMR, decommissioning-all demanding sophisticated advisory support that does not yet exist at scale.
Frameworks without operational experience. Advice from people who have studied the sector, not delivered in it.
Senior nuclear practitioners advise informally for free. STRATUM gives that knowledge the structure and commercial model it deserves.

Credible firms doing this at scale
STRATUM is powered by Westlakes Recruit - one of the nuclear sector's most active senior placement partners. We bring something no traditional consultancy can: genuine market intelligence from the inside of every major programme.
Decades of senior nuclear placements. Live salary data. Talent availability across every major programme. Active relationships throughout the sector.
Three capability strands-board-level advisory
to embedded programme delivery
Stratum advisors are not generalists. Each is selected for depth in a specific discipline - the exact disciplines that determine whether a nuclear programme succeeds.
STRATUM vs. traditional management consultancy.
The differences are structural-not just in what we say, but in what
we can access and how we work.

Advisory and delivery working together seamlessly.
A structured programme organisation creates clarity across teams, stakeholders, and objectives. It establishes clear governance and accountability while supporting efficient delivery. The result is better alignment and stronger execution.
The strategic advisory layer provides expert guidance for critical business decisions. It combines market insight with practical recommendations to support long-term success. This helps organisations navigate change with confidence.
Our embedded delivery capability integrates directly with internal teams to drive progress. It provides specialist expertise and additional capacity where required. This ensures initiatives move forward efficiently and effectively.
Our advisors have delivered at senior level inside the nuclear sector. Your board will know the difference immediately.
Live salary data, talent availability, and organisational intelligence from the Westlakes network - grounding our advice in reality.
