Acres Engineering Wins Key Nuclear Sector Approval with Hayley Nuclear

This milestone reflects not only the robustness of our internal systems and processes, but also our team’s commitment to excellence in every aspect of engineering and manufacturing. The nuclear sector is renowned for its stringent quality requirements, so achieving approval is a strong endorsement of the standards we uphold at Acres.

Hayley Nuclear, part of the wider Hayley Group, are a trusted supply chain partner to the UK’s nuclear industry. They provide a wide range of specialist engineering components, consumables, and support services to major nuclear sites and contractors, operating to the highest quality assurance standards required in this highly regulated sector.

To mark the occasion, we welcomed Mark Croake – Nuclear Director, James Wetten – Quality Manager, and Project Manager Nav Singh to our site. The visit provided an opportunity to discuss future collaborations and explore ways Acres can support Hayley Nuclear’s ongoing programmes.

Mark Croake, Nuclear Director commented:

“We are delighted to recognise Acres Engineering for their outstanding achievement in qualifying as a Hayley Nuclear approved supplier. This milestone is a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence across every facet of their operations.

Acres Engineering has consistently demonstrated robust and reliable quality systems that underpin their entire manufacturing process. Their meticulous attention to detail and dedication to continuous improvement have set a benchmark in quality assurance.

The quality of workmanship delivered by Acres is second to none. Each project reflects their precision, craftsmanship, and pride in engineering excellence—qualities that are essential in the nuclear sector where safety and reliability are paramount.

Equally impressive is their strong service ethic and clear, proactive communication. Acres Engineering approached our partnership with integrity and responsiveness, ensuring that client needs are met with transparency and professionalism.

Their approval as a Hayley Nuclear supplier is not only well-deserved but also a reflection of the trust and confidence they inspire through their performance. We look forward to seeing Acres Engineering continue to thrive and support us in many projects moving forwards.”

During the visit, Managing Director Luke Parker also highlighted Acres’ commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant, encouraging Hayley Nuclear to consider signing the pledge if they had not already done so. This reflects Acres’ broader ethos of aligning with partners who share our values around responsibility, opportunity, and community.

Nav Singh, Project Manager at Hayley Nuclear, commented:

“We were particularly impressed by your internal systems, especially the way they facilitate seamless communication across the shop floor and with external stakeholders. The traceability features are outstanding and align perfectly with the standards we expect from QA Graded Approved Suppliers.”

This achievement also connects directly to our People First Pledge — Acres’ long-standing commitment to supporting skills, opportunity, and social mobility. By strengthening our role within the nuclear supply chain, we not only deliver engineering excellence but also create new pathways for apprentices, graduates, and employees to grow and thrive in one of the UK’s most demanding and future-focused industries.

As Acres continues to grow, this relationship with Hayley Nuclear represents another positive and important step for the future.
