SME News Greater London Enterprise Awards 2024/ 32 Best Energy Infrastructure Project Management Company 2024 Energy infrastructure projects are typically large-scale endeavours that require significant investments and meticulous planning, due to their complexity and the role they play in supporting energy systems across the country. Pershing Consultants is a market-leading project management company that promises to deliver toptier management services whilst pushing for a greener future. We learn more about Pershing Consultants below, speaking with James Pateman, Managing Director. Founded in 2015, Pershing Consultants is a small consultancy firm that specialises in delivering major engineering infrastructure programmes. The company strives to help its clients in realising their goals through utilising its expert project management and leadership techniques. Pershing Consultants places a heavy focus on sustainability within its projects, providing eco conscious project management solutions that are aimed at driving positive change. Striving to achieve net zero, the company’s expertise lies within renewable energy projects, such as solar, wind, storage, hydrogen, and nuclear energy. With each and every project it undertakes, Pershing Consultants begins by consulting its client to gain a deeper understanding of their project objectives. The company recognises that no two projects are identical and must not be treated with a one-size-fits-all approach. As such, Pershing Consultants has curated a diverse team of employees, trained to adapt their operations to complement each business’s capabilities. This increases the efficiency of a project from day one, reducing any potential time wasted to business overlaps, as the team comes to each project with a fresh mind. “What makes us unique is our ability to understand projects from all perspectives – client, consultant, and regulatory, in order to balance a project plan so that it takes cognisance of the risks involved and plans for success,” says James. “We are also unique in that we are small, agile, and independent; this allows us to flex, to match our client’s operating model and to truly act with their best interests in mind.” To maintain this flexible approach, Pershing Consultants implements a holistic project delivery service called Total Project Delivery. This is a project management model that emphasises adaptability, collaboration, and holistic coordination to optimise the outcomes of a project. The company operates with a flat, individual lead structure in which team members are not confined to predefined roles, but rather will dynamically adjust their responsibilities based on the project’s needs. Employees are encouraged to build their own relationships, develop their own contracts and client networks, and learn collaboratively from each other. This approach allows Pershing Consultants to grow rapidly, and organically as new projects appear, enabling the team to take a proactive role in both the company and their own development. With this, Pershing Consultants hopes to enhance project performance, increase team cohesion, and deliver superior outcomes in complex and uncertain environments, reforming conventional project manager practices. Retaining such a flexible, skilled workforce is incredibly advantageous for Pershing Consultants, especially when navigating the uncertain industry of project management. James tells us that the volume of projects entering the energy space is growing drastically, leading to a shortfall in skills and experience across the sector. This is not necessarily an obstacle, at least not to the innovative minds at Pershing Consultants. The company views the increase in projects as an opportunity to grow and help more clients. Whilst many clients seek to fulfil as much project leadership as possible inhouse, the shortage in skills combined with the rise in projects means that increasingly, clients are realising that forming partnerships with a likeminded company is crucial to meeting their project objectives. “This is the space that we occupy,” says James, “and gives greater opportunity for us to support more clients who historically would have looked to provide leadership and project delivery functions from within their own team.” Looking ahead, Pershing Consultants seeks to continue growing organically in all projects related to a net zero transition. While the company’s orderbook is strong for the year, James tells us that Pershing Consultant’s appetite for growth means that the company can achieve much more and aims to diversify into new sectors with new clients. Conclusively, Pershing Consultants is a market-leading company, renowned for delivering high quality, sustainable project management solutions that are perfectly catered to each client’s needs. It is for delivering such top-tier services, at no detriment to the environment, Pershing Consultants has earned the prestigious title of the Best Energy Infrastructure Project Management Company 2024.
