Our Strategic Partnerships
We are expanding to bring together our local government, sectoral and financing expertise to support regionally significant projects that have the highest growth potential.
Our Strategic Partnerships are a longer-term commitment to deepen existing relationships with leaders and senior officers to unlock the investment needed to achieve their local growth and clean energy goals.
We currently have four Strategic Partnerships in place with Glasgow City Region, West Yorkshire Combined Authority, West Midlands Combined Authority and Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
Our support includes:
- Focused commercial support to develop project pipelines that deliver on local objectives
- Dedicated resource embedded with partner teams to provide project development, commercial and financial advisory expertise
- Senior strategic banking advisors to support the identification and structuring of financing solutions for projects, acting as a trusted convener of local and national stakeholders, to unlock opportunities and crowd in private investment
As part of our Strategic Partnerships, our project advisory support includes structuring projects and leveraging in the appropriate finance including wider private sector markets.
Subject to the progress and impact of the four Strategic Partnerships, our ambition is to expand these to other MSAs and City Regions.
