Cyclife Aquila Nuclear

Strategy, Brand & Growth Partnership

We’ve partnered with Aquila for over a decade - shaping brand, strategy and marketing through growth, acquisition and rebrand.

About the Client

Cyclife Aquila Nuclear Engineering (formerly Aquila Nuclear Engineering) provides bespoke mechanical engineering solutions for the nuclear industry.

Since its formation in 2011, Aquila has grown into a trusted engineering specialist, delivering high-value projects across the UK and internationally.

The Situation / Challenge

Before launch, Aquila needed a brand and marketing strategy that matched its technical excellence and ambitious growth plans.

As the company scaled – and later became part of Cyclife EDF Group – it required a consistent, strategic approach to communications, design and leadership support.

Key challenges:

Creating a distinctive brand from day one

Supporting internal teams through rebrand and acquisition

Maintaining creative consistency across multiple channels

What We Did

We have partnered with Aquila since inception, delivering continuous strategic and creative support that has evolved with the business.

Our work included:

Marketing and business strategy – mapping long-term direction and campaign priorities

Branding – from initial identity to full rebrand following EDF acquisition

Leadership and mentoring – board-level strategy and team development

Website and content strategy – ensuring alignment and clarity across all platforms

The Result

Over thirteen years, the partnership has delivered continuous brand and business evolution.
Aquila has grown from start-up to a £12m-turnover company with 130 employees, completing projects up to £100m in value – and successfully rebranding as Cyclife Aquila Nuclear Engineering following its sale to Cyclife EDF Group.

Outcomes:

  • Long-term brand and marketing partnership built on trust and agility
  • Strategic and creative alignment through major growth and acquisition
  • Continued clarity, consistency and momentum across all communications
