The agreement involves National Grid building new electrical infrastructure capable of powering the 3.2 million tonne electric arc furnace by the end of 2027. Tata Steel UK’s CEO, Rajesh Nair, said: “I’m delighted we’ve signed this connection agreement with the ESO. This is a critical milestone in transforming our steelmaking operations in Port Talbot and will help us replace our ageing and carbon intensive blast furnaces with a state-of-theart electric arc furnace capable of producing our customers’ most demanding steel products.” Industry Minister Alan Mak said: “This is another positive step towards securing the future of steelmaking in South Wales and the UK, and I’m pleased to see Tata Steel reach this milestone. “Our support for the steel industry is unwavering, and our historic investment alongside our grid capabilities means we can look ahead to cleaner, greener steel production in years to come. Accelerating grid connection timescales is a top priority for government and we are working closely with Ofgem and the network companies to transform the electricity network at a scale and pace not seen for decades.” Mr Nair added: “Having access to higher power electricity is a foundation stone for greener steelmaking, regardless of the technology choice. That’s why we’ve been working closely with the ESO and National Grid for a number of years on how to strengthen our power infrastructure. “This agreement means we will have sufficient power for our new electric arc furnace and the capability in the longer-term to further strengthen our business.” Q Tata Steel www.tatasteeleurope.com Cambridge Precision has been announced as a recipient of the King’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade. The King’s Awards for Enterprise are the most prestigious awards for UK businesses, recognising and celebrating business excellence across the UK. Cambridge Precision Ltd (CPL) is one of only 252 organisations nationally to be honoured this year with a King’s Award. Tony Murray, commercial director said: “What an achievement. For all our team who have, time and time again, gone the extra mile and found a different way, this award is rightly yours.” The long-established Queen’s awards programme was renamed last year to reflect His Majesty the King’s commitment to continuing the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II, who initiated the scrutinising awards programme. Now in its 58th year, this is the most respected business award in the country. Employing 83 people, CPL was founded in 1991 and today is widely acknowledged in tech innovation and bio-med technology sectors as a production partner of choice for consequential precision engineered components and subassemblies. For CPL, establishing a dedicated production unit for export and working collaboratively with clients (based overseas or requiring alliance with international suppliers and distributors) has been a key focus over the last five years. Acting in partnership with customers to overcome trade barriers and implement sustainable global supply chains has helped the business to develop greater agility and develop as an organisation within the global market. Richard Hefford Hobbs, chairman added: “Our clients come to us for our expertise in manufacturing complex components, critical to the performance of their product. They stay with us and develop long-term partnerships because of our continuous commitment to helping their business succeed. “Developing our international trade over the last five years was a deliberate objective – which proved challenging, thanks to the pandemic, material shortages and evolving trade agreements – however the relationships we have built are stronger and more aligned than we could ever have imagined. It’s been a tough but a beneficial journey. Being recognised by a King’s Award is something we value immeasurably.” Q Cambridge Precision https://cambridgeprecision.com/ King’s Award for exports goes to Cambridge Precision
