Julia Pyke, recognized with a CBE in the June 2026 King's Birthday Honors for services to the UK nuclear energy industry, shares how reading English in university and pursuing legal training, matched with an interest in people, has enabled a career which is most notably associated with the successful development of the 3.2GW Sizewell C in Suffolk.

Yes, she shares insight into successfully developing and financing a gigawatt scale nuclear plant but what resonates is her focus on demonstrating benefit to the community, highlighting the safety of nuclear-powered plants and drawing attention to the contribution of others.
