Hinkley PSG, founded in 2017, is an esteemed consortium of businesses with extensive experience in advising companies involved in the Hinkley Point C project, the largest construction project in Europe. This group of trusted advisors has not only contributed to the success of the Hinkley project but also extended their expertise to other relevant industries.

The Chamber was delighted to welcome Mark Walton, a Bridgwater Chamber Member and board member of Hinkley PSG, as the guest speaker. Mark provided valuable insights into the journey of Hinkley PSG, emphasising their commitment to collaboration and being trusted advisors to clients.

Diogo Rodrigues, Bridgwater Chamber Manager, highlighted the importance of the Hinkley PSG group, saying, “The Hinkley PSG plays a pivotal role in connecting local businesses with the Hinkley Point C project. Their collaborative approach and wealth of expertise have been instrumental in supporting the growth of our region’s economy.”
