Clean energy
We're realising the potential of nuclear, wind, solar and water, bringing structure to projects and programmes that delivers predictable outcomes.
With almost three quarters of greenhouse gas emissions arising from the energy sector, a global transition to clean energy sources is essential to achieving the Paris Agreement’s goal to hold the increase in global average temperature to well below 2oC above pre-industrial levels.
With over 196 members of the United Nations signatories to the Paris Agreement, energy transition's a global initiative underpinned by the imperative to deliver energy security, affordability and sustainability.
Whether proven or emerging technology, constrained public sector capital, access to private equity and a challenging regulatory environment can make it difficult to get essential projects off the ground. Adopting a defined, consistent approach to delivering major projects and programmes is key to realising them.
We're able to realise the potential for clean energy generation, making major projects and programmes investible, set up for high performance and ultimately delivered. Our connected platform provides us with the ability to draw extensive knowledge, insight and learning from the global energy sector to be applied in local markets.

Data centres
As the data centre sector expands, we're working with clients to increase capacity, deliver projects at scale and drive higher performance.
Exponential growth in demand continues to propel the global data centre sector, with expansion being turbo-charged by new technologies. Artificial intelligence and machine learning require significant increases in data centre capacity.
Sustained high demand is creating opportunities for developers and owners to expand into new markets, build larger facilities and upgrade existing assets. This is putting the data centre construction sector under huge pressure to deliver at pace.
To maintain growth, power availability is a key priority for the sector and is reshaping the market. As a result, access to a reliable power supply is becoming the primary driver in site selection, with a growing focus on renewables and on-site generation.
We've been at the forefront of hyperscale data centre development for over a decade, delivering billions of dollars’ worth of construction globally every year.

Education
We help deliver facilities that enhance student experiences and support better educational outcomes.
Capital expenditure in education is subject to detailed business planning to assess the sustainable, whole-life value of projects and the quality of environment created for students. As schools, universities and colleges respond to a complex budgetary landscape, they're seeking greater understanding of how to drive efficiencies across estates.
This is often achieved by creating a masterplan vision and developing asset strategies to inform expansion and improvement plans. As the sector is closely involved in the development of climate change mitigation strategies, projects and programmes must often fulfil sustainability targets.
Extension, retrofit and refurbishment projects often take place within a live environment. Robust education project management procedures are therefore essential, to assure on-time delivery alongside operational continuity and student safety and security. This impacts on procurement, with contractors needing proven expertise in complex logistics to manage projects safely and effectively during continuing operations.
We've worked with over 500 education bodies worldwide and completed more than £10bn of work. This experience has informed our education project management, cost and commercial management, digital, sustainability, and programme management capability, which is tailored to the sector and responds to its unique challenges.
Across the sector, we've experience delivering schools, colleges, universities and many other types of teaching spaces. These range from research space to social and learning facilities, offices, laboratories, auditoria, student accommodation and sports complexes.

Advances in medical research and technologies are driving patient-centric approaches and addressing global challenges, including changing demographics, obesity, mental health and pandemics.
Constrained financial resources demand maximum capital and operational efficiency in healthcare estates.

Retail
As the retail sector continues to evolve, we're delivering projects and programmes that are helping brands adapt and thrive.
For over a decade, retailers have been facing the twin challenges of rising e-commerce and changing consumer behaviour. To be competitive in today’s omni-channel retail environment, retailers have needed to ‘right-size’ their real estate portfolios.
Retail project management, cost and commercial management and programme management are helping brands to adapt their portfolios to meet these challenges. Projects and programmes must be delivered at pace, while maintaining flexibility to allow for technological evolution and the integration of digital operations.
Retail occupiers need to create experience-led destinations and environments that reflect the changing expectations of communities and consumers.
In a sector where price wars are constant, capital efficiency across existing assets and planned stores is fundamental. Retailers need to be able to scrutinise every aspect of expenditure, to ensure capital investments in bricks and mortar stores drive maximum value.
We have a track record in retail project management, cost and commercial management and programme management which spans the sector, from rapid roll-out programmes to high-profile flagship stores. Robust risk management of projects is needed to protect the reputation of top brands.

Mining
We're working with developers, owners and operators to optimise the approach to mineral extraction so it is productive, sustainable and predictable.
The mining sector is central to enabling the world to make an orderly transition to clean and renewable energy. This has created a global impetus to step up production of critical raw materials.
Whether developing a greenfield project, investing in existing facilities, or planning the closure and rehabilitation of mining areas, developers, owners, and operators have clear priorities. Projects and programmes must enable clients to extract and process minerals safely, efficiently, and sustainably while aligning with broader corporate goals and societal expectations.
Mine closure challenges physical decommissioning, site remediation and mitigating socio-economic costs for host communities. The way in which closure and rehabilitation are planned, communicated and delivered impacts the reputations and future licenses of mine owners and operators. Our mining consulting services address these and other complexities of the sector.

Today’s sporting and cultural and venues and destinations must enable not only short-term success but an enduring positive legacy.
Delivering projects and programmes in the sector presents many challenges. Alongside investors and developers, projects must consider many stakeholders, including concession vendors, advertisers, sponsors, promoters, third-party lessees, and the visiting public.
