About Balfour Beatty Capital

Skills and Capabilities/Success Factors

Balfour Beatty Capital has been at the forefront of the development of UK PFI since its inception in the mid 1990s and has consistently retained its position as one of the leaders in its chosen markets.

This leadership position has come from the breadth and depth of experience generated within the company and can be attributed to the following key factors:

Focus: Balfour Beatty Capital is highly selective about the projects it pursues, only choosing those projects in key areas where our skills base and competitive strengths bring an advantage.

People: With a total staff of nearly 136 Balfour Beatty Capital has the largest and most dedicated PFI team in the UK. With the company’s increasing involvement in non-PFI investment opportunities this capability is set to grow substantially, both in the UK but also through the establishment of new international offices.

Broad skills base: Balfour Beatty Capital has all the necessary skills, capabilities and experience to structure, deliver, operate and manage a wide range of privately financed infrastructure assets.

Innovation: A key aspect of Balfour Beatty Capital’s success has been its ability to continually innovate across the full range of its activities. The company regularly provides market leading solutions in project structuring, finance, design and operations.

Complexity: Balfour Beatty Capital has a track record of structuring, leading and delivering projects with widely differing degrees of complexity from small project finance transactions to large complex projects such as the London Underground PPP.

Group capability: As a part of Balfour Beatty plc, Balfour Beatty Capital has access to the wider engineering, construction, operations and management capabilities of the Balfour Beatty Group.

Long-term partner: Balfour Beatty Capital is a long-term investor in privately funded projects. Our strategy is to continue to hold a substantial shareholding in our projects and to make a long-term contribution to the management of our concessions.
