Inspired by the Past, Engineering for the Future

Delkia is sponsoring an exclusive industry event, in partnership with Jennings Brewery, aboard the Santa Maria, a full-scale replica of Christopher Columbus’s flagship.

Taking place on the evening of Thursday 6 August, 2026, it will bring together leaders from across the defence and nuclear sectors.

“The Santa Maria represents more than exploration—it represents the challenge of making critical decisions in uncertain conditions,” said Kurt Canfield, CEO.

Delkia’s CEO, Kurt Canfield, joined a discussion panel at the Place North West Cumbria Development Update 2026 on 18 June in Kendal.

The discussion covered investment, devolution, skills, housing, infrastructure and the opportunities ahead for Cumbria. What stood out throughout the day was a shared belief that our greatest challenge — and our greatest opportunity — is creating a compelling place where people want to live, work, invest and build careers.

Delkia is featured in the latest industry supplement by Business Focus Magazine, highlighting its work across the nuclear and defence sectors.

The feature showcases Delkia’s continued growth, engineering expertise, and commitment to delivering innovative, safety-critical solutions.
