A new podcast is shining a spotlight on industrial innovation.

iSH Presents, produced by the Industrial Solutions Hub (iSH), celebrates the work of businesses in Cumbria and is aimed at highlighting progress in the region’s supply chain.

The first four episodes are now live and feature industry leaders from Sellafield Ltd, Createc, and CORE Nuclear Solutions.

iSH Programme Director, Miranda Kirschel, who hosts the majority of the episodes, said: "Our supply chain is filled with businesses achieving extraordinary things and hearing their stories firsthand has been interesting and impressive in equal measure.

"The pace of growth, the level of innovation, and the willingness to push beyond traditional boundaries all reinforce what a powerful business ecosystem we have here in Cumbria.

"iSH Presents captures that energy and gives these organisations a platform to shout about it."

The first episode features Gareth Frazer, head of manufacturing and engineering solutions at Sellafield Ltd.

Future episodes will include Dr Kirsty Hewitson of RAICo, the Robotics and AI Collaboration.

Listeners will also hear from other leaders driving progress in Cumbria’s industrial and technological sectors.

iSH Presents is available on all major podcast platforms, with new episodes released every two weeks.
