About Cumbria

Software Development for Cumbria's Nuclear & Outdoor Tourism Industries

Cumbria's economy is defined by two extraordinary assets: the Lake District — England's largest national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site — and the Sellafield nuclear complex, which together account for a significant share of the county's employment. BAE Systems' Barrow-in-Furness shipyard builds the UK's nuclear submarines, including the next-generation Dreadnought class, employing over 10,000 people. GSK's Ulverston factory is one of the world's largest biopharmaceutical manufacturing sites. The contrast between Cumbria's stunning natural landscapes and its high-tech industrial base creates unique opportunities for businesses that can bridge both worlds. The University of Cumbria and the National College for Nuclear provide specialist training, and improved digital connectivity through the B4RN community broadband network is enabling tech businesses in rural areas.

Software development for Cumbria's key industries

We build bespoke software for the sectors that drive the Cumbria economy — bringing deep domain knowledge to every project.

Nuclear & Decommissioning

Sellafield is Europe's largest nuclear site and the UK's biggest decommissioning project. Safety-case management software, radioactive-waste tracking systems, and regulatory-compliance platforms are critical.

Tourism & Outdoor Economy

The Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracts over 19 million visitors annually. Booking platforms, visitor-flow management, and sustainable-tourism analytics tools support this vital economy.

Advanced Manufacturing

GSK's pharmaceutical factory at Ulverston, Siemens Subsea at Barrow, and BAE Systems' submarine shipyard make Cumbria a centre for high-value manufacturing. Production-management systems, quality-assurance tools, and supply-chain platforms serve these operations.

Agriculture & Farming

Cumbria's hill farms and dairy operations are central to the county's identity. Farm-management software, livestock-tracking systems, and agricultural subsidy-management tools support this essential sector.
