Delkia Limited

Delkia is a specialist engineering and technology company founded in 2013, headquartered at Westlakes Science and Technology Park in Cumbria, with additional sites across the UK. They focus on the design, integration and delivery of safety‑related and mission‑critical systems, particularly for the defence, nuclear, maritime, aerospace and clean‑energy sectors. With in‑house capabilities covering systems integration, engineering design, technical consultancy and control panel manufacture, Delkia delivers end‑to‑end solutions—from concept and build through to testing, commissioning and ongoing support. Their R&D efforts, often in tandem with universities, ensure they remain at the cutting‑edge of digital engineering, functional safety, cybersecurity and augmented reality workflows.

Operating across the full CADMID lifecycle—covering Concept, Assessment, Demonstration, Manufacture, In‑service support and Disposal—Delkia plays a crucial role in high‑integrity environments. Their work for maritime and naval customers includes vehicle control, platform management and combat systems, adhering to rigorous standards such as IEC 61508, ISO 15288, ARP 4754A, DO‑178 and DO‑254. They are also leaders in tactical data links, secure communications and cybersecurity solutions via their subsidiary, SynthesSys Defence Systems. Notable clients include BAE Systems, and they lead the Encompass consortium supplying technical and post‑design services to the Royal Navy Surface Fleet.

Delkia prides itself on its culture and values. The company emphasises collaboration, integrity, safety, accountability and positive social impact. Its facilities include advanced electronics and systems‑integration labs equipped for live and dead testing, and they follow disciplined methodologies like 5S, Fit 4 Nuclear, and model‑based engineering. Investing in staff, they foster professional development through apprenticeships and a graduate scheme that supports chartership, security clearance, career progression and attractive benefits.

Finally, Delkia is a proud signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant, reflecting their commitment to supporting serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families. They were awarded the Ministry of Defence’s Employer Recognition Scheme Bronze Award on Armed Forces Day 24 June 2023, as recognition for employing ex‑service personnel in senior roles—from submarine commanders to technical managers—and pledging continued progress towards the Silver Award. This underlines their dedication to honouring the covenant’s principles and integrating the Armed Forces community within their workforce.
