Nuclear expertise, without the red tape.
Metallurgical support for energy, heavy industry & manufacturing.
Make an EnquiryMetallogic Solutions Ltd. provides independent metallurgical consultancy to clients within manufacturing, primary processing, power generation and more.
I am a Chartered metallurgist (CEng) with more than seven years of experience working in the UK nuclear industry — including immobilisation science, low-activation & radiation-tolerant materials for fusion devices and high-value castings.
I operate with meticulous attention-to-detail, borne of my time working in demanding environments. This means I can bring nuclear rigour to a range of industries and applications - from circular materials & sustainability frameworks, through to process optimisation and material qualification.
I work directly with clients on their terms — because while most organisations would benefit from a metallurgist, you may not need one all of the time.
“I grew up in Rotherham, and consequently felt the importance of metals in society from a young age. Through combined degrees in Materials Engineering and Nuclear Technology, I have been able to fuse my early interests into a career in the nuclear industry — where I have been supported by many wonderful peers and mentors from a range of backgrounds and disciplines — and lucky enough to have seen a great deal of industry both domestically and overseas. I wanted to take my nuclear skills & experiences and bring them to the wider UK metals, processing and energy sectors, and started Metallogic in 2026 after being awarded my CEng as a result.”James Lennard, Founder & Principal Consultant,
Metallogic Solutions Ltd.
