L2 Business Consulting

What L2 Business Consulting does

L2 Business Consulting Limited is a privately held UK technical consultancy established in 2009 and headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne, with a second operational office in North Shields. The firm provides specialist advisory services to organisations that work with ionising radiations and radioactive substances, operating under formal regulatory appointments as a Health and Safety Executive (HSE)-recognised Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) Body, a Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA), and a Radioactive Waste Adviser (RWA). Its client base spans the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Europe and internationally, covering the nuclear, non-destructive testing, oil and gas, healthcare, veterinary, security, education, manufacturing/FMCG, radon gas, and transport sectors.

The service portfolio comprises five core offerings — Radiological Protection, Radioactive Materials Transport, Radioactive Waste Management, Environmental Permitting, and Nuclear Regulation — supported by a training division that delivers more than 60 Radiation Awareness and Radiation Protection Supervisor courses per year. Technical work is performed using established radiation-modelling tools such as MicroShield, EA IRAT, PC Cream 08, ERICA, and EA R&D128. The firm holds third-party ISO 9001:2015 accreditation from LRQA and Cyber Essentials certification, and maintains working interfaces with the HSE, Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR), Environment Agency, Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), and Natural Resources Wales.

L2 operates as a small-medium enterprise with 1–10 employees and generates revenue through professional services fees for consultancy and training engagements. Delivery is direct and relationship-based, with named, suitably qualified consultants assigned to clients, and pricing is handled through a shared sales inbox rather than published rate cards. Marketing is conducted primarily through the company website, sector-focused blog content, and active membership in professional bodies including the Society for Radiological Protection (SRP), British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT), and Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM).

Direct peers

• REACT Engineering: UK-based specialist providing radiation protection, radiological characterisation and decommissioning services. Closest direct peer to L2 in terms of size, scope (RPA-style advisory plus technical delivery) and UK regulatory focus.
• DBD International: Independent UK radiological services consultancy providing RPA, radioactive waste management, transport and environmental permitting advice. Closely comparable to L2 across the same regulatory advisory service lines.
• Nuvia UK: Specialist nuclear services provider offering radiation protection, decommissioning, waste management and consultancy across the UK. Now part of Jacobs but operates as a distinct radiation-protection-focused brand, directly competing with L2 for UK nuclear and industrial RPA work.
• Createc: Cumbria-based technical consultancy serving the UK nuclear sector with radiation detection, N-Visage characterisation and radiation protection services. Direct peer operating in overlapping RPA-adjacent and nuclear decommissioning advisory niches.

Broad incumbents

• Jacobs: Major global engineering and nuclear services firm (parent of Nuvia, acquired CH2M). Competes with L2 across UK nuclear site licence support, decommissioning, and environmental permitting; much larger and broader portfolio.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consultancy with a UK nuclear and environment practice. Overlaps with L2 in environmental permitting, nuclear regulation and contaminated land advisory, though radiation protection is a smaller part of its portfolio.
• AtkinsRéalis: Global engineering services firm with a significant UK nuclear practice (formerly Atkins). Competes with L2 on nuclear regulation, environmental permitting and decommissioning advisory, but at vastly larger scale and with broader portfolio.
• Mirion Technologies: Global provider of radiation detection, measurement and shielding products and services. Operates in overlapping radiation protection territory with L2, but predominantly product/instrumentation-led rather than pure advisory.
• Frazer-Nash Consultancy: UK engineering consultancy with a nuclear and radiation practice providing safety case, RPA and shielding support. Similar advisory posture to L2 but materially larger and broader across defence and nuclear.
• Studsvik: Swedish-headquartered nuclear services company providing waste management, decommissioning and radiological consultancy. Comparable to L2 in radioactive waste and decommissioning advisory, but larger and Sweden-based rather than UK-focused.
