Industrial Projects & Strategic Assets

Commercial development around industrial equipment, production capacity and asset-backed projects — from an early position to a structure that can actually move.

Commercial context

Industrial assets and projects usually stall for commercial reasons rather than technical ones. The plant works, the equipment is sound, the capacity exists — and there is no counterparty, no structure, or no basis on which either side will commit.

The parties are also hard to reach from the outside. An owner with underused capacity and a buyer who needs precisely that capacity are frequently in different markets with no commercial route to each other.

The Group works that gap: establishing what the position actually is, which counterparties it would suit, and what structure would make it executable.

What the Group develops

Positions in this sector arrive in different states of readiness. The work starts from wherever the position actually is.

  1. Asset and capacity positions

    Underused production capacity, plant and equipment with a commercial use elsewhere, and the route by which it could reach it.

  2. Equipment and plant sourcing

    Working a defined technical requirement back to the manufacturers, dealers and holders able to meet it.

  3. Partner and joint-venture development

    Bringing an operating partner, an offtaker or a manufacturing partner to a project, and establishing standing before commitment.

  4. Project commercial structure

    The framework, the sequence and the mandate under which a project position becomes something both sides can sign.

How a position is assessed

Before a position is taken to anyone, the commercial case has to stand up on its own terms.

  • What the asset or capacity is, and who controls it
  • Whether the owner is able and willing to transact, and on what basis
  • The commercial case as it stands, and what would have to be true for it to work
  • Which counterparties the position genuinely suits, and why
  • What technical, regulatory or consent work would sit outside the commercial route

Coordination through to structure

Where a project proceeds, the Group runs the commercial workstream alongside the technical one: the position between principals, the framework terms, the sequence of milestones, and the coordination between the advisers on each side.

The technical programme, the engineering and the approvals run in parallel and are the responsibility of the specialists appointed to them.

What remains with qualified specialists

The Group develops the commercial route. Everything technical, and everything requiring a professional appointment, sits elsewhere.

  • Engineering, design and construction remain with qualified engineering and construction firms
  • Technical certification, inspection and compliance testing remain with accredited bodies
  • Asset valuation, where one is required, remains with a qualified valuer appointed by the parties
  • Permitting, consents and regulatory approvals remain with the applicant and its advisers
  • The Group carries no engineering, EPC or construction responsibility and gives no technical warranty

Any future publication requires editorial approval and is issued under the Group’s name.
