Greater London Enterprise Awards 2025/ 42 Best Sustainable Infrastructure Project Management Service 2025 As the UK races toward its 2050 Net Zero target, the transformation of national infrastructure has been profound – from renewable energy installations to grid updates and new nuclear developments. At the heart of this shift is Pershing Consultants, a delivery partner guiding energy projects from concept to completion with precision, purpose, and a deep commitment to sustainable outcomes. As Pershing Consultants is recognised in the Greater London Enterprise Awards 2025, we heard more from Managing Director James Pateman. Founded in 2015, Pershing Consultants is a dynamic, mid-sized consultancy specialising in the delivery of UK infrastructure to support Net Zero. To this end, it offers exceptional project management services across energy, infrastructure, aviation, and defence sectors – specialising in sustainable solutions such as solar, wind, hydrogen, and nuclear to support the UK’s sustainability ambitions. Over the last decade, Pershing consultants has successfully delivered over 7GW of energy generation projects,, partnering with clients to guide delivery and meet their Net Zero goals. During this time, Pershing Consultants has grown to 24 in number, attracting a wide range of talented project delivery experts who bring their own expertise in areas such as civil engineering, stakeholder engagement, commercial management, permitting, land remediation, and environmental impact assessment. Pershing Consultants is driven by a proactive, innovative, and dedicated team united by a shared mission to supporting the UK’s Net Zero mission and serving the needs of its clients. This collective purpose draws together individuals from diverse backgrounds, each bringing their own expertise and perspective. Collaboration is central – both within the team and across the supply chain – with a strong emphasis on celebrating diversity of thought and culture. Team members are trusted to deploy their skills with autonomy, while receiving support when needed. A healthy work-life balance is actively encouraged across Pershing Consultants, with time made for life outside of work. Throughout the year, team-building activities foster connection throughout the teams, setting the tone for every project, which begins by bringing assembled teams together with clients to align on shared goals, core values, and delivery principles. “We strive hard to build collaborative cultures that focus the right capability onto clear tasks, to be actioned at the appropriate time – all to make progress and reduce risk,” said James. “We appreciate the need for effective and timely stakeholder engagement, to ensure that our work leaves a positive legacy in the local communities to which we deliver. Our team members support each other across a large portfolio, drawing on specific technical knowledge to deploy across all projects where needed.” As Pershing Consultants continues to grow, the consultancy aims to build upon its core values of ethically sound business principles, clear leadership, trust and respect for others, and collaborative teamwork. These values guide its every operation, driving the consultancy to serve as an extension of its clients’ teams, working to bolster their management and technical capabilities before delivering projects on their behalf, procuring and building teams to deliver specific activities as required. “Matching the appropriate resource to meet specific client needs is always something we take seriously,” James told us. “Our team has grown to meet these needs, and we hope to continue to expand our broad range of technical expertise and resource as we seek new clients and markets. Doubling our team size over the last 18 months has brought challenges, and we now have a structure more suited to a larger organisation and are delivering to more clients, while responsibility for some duties has been more evenly shared.” This period of rapid growth has tested the consultancy’s adaptability, but it has also positioned Pershing Consultants to take on a broader role in shaping the future of UK infrastructure. Looking ahead, Pershing Consultants remains optimistic about the sector’s trajectory – fuelled by reform, investment, and a renewed commitment to Net Zero. While recent debates around the country’s Net Zero strategy have prompted shifts in investment and temporarily slowed some projects, ongoing reforms to the National Grid connection process and the planning system are expected to unlock new opportunities across the sector. Pershing Consultants anticipates continued government commitment to Net Zero, alongside strong private sector appetite for deploying renewable technologies – including the exciting rise of Small Modular Reactors in nuclear energy. With a newly scaled team and a structure better suited to a growing organisation, Pershing Consultants is well positioned to expand its client base, project portfolio, and sector reach. As the country continues to race toward Net Zero, Pershing Consultants expects to play a key role in delivering the infrastructure needed to support a thriving, low-carbon future across the UK.
