About Market Cross

Market Cross UK Limited is a Democratic Social Enterprise (DSE). We provide Nuclear and Radiation Safety Services to the nuclear, defence, oil & gas, education, transport, veterinary and home office sectors. Our Membership is formed from a range of co-operating parties such as Clients, Suppliers, Self-Employed Persons, Service Providers, Investors and Stakeholders.

These parties operate within a range of related disciplines such as radiation protection, nuclear safety, decommissioning, environmental protection, facilities management and dangerous goods.

Each Market Cross Member is democratically involved in the running of the company. This allows each Member to have a direct influence in the direction of the business, including clients. We believe we are the first DSE in the world to provide nuclear and radiation safety services. But we expect to see more DSEs like ours emerging in other sectors.

Written into our very articles of association is a commitment to support our local community and our industry. We take this commitment very seriously indeed. During our short existence we have already contributed significant time, money and effort to several community projects. Please see an example here.

Not only that, but built into the fabric of Market Cross is our four circles of good commerce. They are industry, community, enterprise and democracy and can, very generally, be presented by the following image.

We believe these interjoined components are essential to a fair and productive business environment. We also believe that they provide benefits far beyond the basic business model. For example, we find that this aproach builds trust between clients, suppliers, stakeholders, staff and members which in turn results in long-term working relationships and a much improved working environment.
