Global management consultancy enhances financial advisoryservices

Since 1978, the firmhas provided pioneering planning, design and advisory services to governmentand business — with a particular focus on projects that develop cities,infrastructure and transport.
The UK is one of the world’s most mature infrastructure andenergy markets, characterised by long asset lives, complex financingstructures, public-sector involvement, and rigorous regulatory scrutiny.Operating successfully in this environment demands deep financial expertise,robust modelling, and independent judgement.
Since welcoming Amberside Advisors to the Steer Group in2022, their depth of expertise and perspective has enhanced the Group’s workacross infrastructure, energy, and the energy transition.
Bringing Amberside Advisors and Evolution Infrastructuretogether within Steer Group builds on that foundation, combining complementarystrengths, bolstering services while maintaining the diligence and rigour bothorganisations are known for.
Role of Artemis Origination
Regarding Artemis’ role in the transaction, HughJones comments: “Artemis was critical to the origination of this furthertransaction, building on their prior understanding of Steer Group’s advisorycapability and trajectory for expansion. They developed a comprehensive initialmarket scan, identified the very best potentials and engaged us directly withEvolution Infrastructure. Obtaining and applying a comprehensive, programmaticview of the advisory ecosystem greatly lowers risk and enhances the opportunityto achieve lasting value creation from our inorganic growth initiatives.”
