Bellemoor Consulting was formed in 2016 and has extensive experience in renewables and waste management projects specialising in construction of facilities and structured project finance deals. Working at SPV, end user (operator) and EPC levels Bellemoor can bring our depth of experience of a wide variety of contract conditions and can help to evaluate the needs and drivers of the stakeholders in a project. With this clarity we can enable you to manage risk and commercial issues and to deliver positive outcomes for your organisation.

We have the experience to help you to manage the challenges throughout the life of your infrastructure project, having delivered a wide variety of projects including; renewables, waste management, defence, maritime and commercial facilities in both private and public sector environments.

Our approach is focused on building strong relationships established on trust, coupled with a detailed understanding of the issues.

Project finance, PPP and PFI projects are carefully structured, with a complex set of legal agreements, funding arrangements with the output specifications for the project flowed down to EPC and specialist operating companies. However, this structure does not remove the need for effective management to understand and protect the Funder and SPV’s position and to ensure that expected project returns are achieved.

Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) are often very lightly resourced and need support in during challenging periods to projects. We do not provide the detailed financial services, but can support SPVs with technical issues and stakeholder management to help to maintain sound relationships with client authorities, lenders, equity shareholders and regulatory bodies.

We can help you to act as an intelligent client; identifying and understanding the decisions and notices required of the SPV so that they are identified, agreed and discharged in good time, whilst ensuring that the shareholders’ position is safeguarded. To best assist the management of your projects, we will set appropriate delegated levels of responsibility with you and identify and agree escalation criteria.

Providing an independent view of issues and clear reports to Boards to allow them to digest and question issues is an important part of the services that we provide. We pride ourselves on the honesty and impartiality of our advice and the solutions that we suggest, taking great care to objectively balance the needs of the stakeholders with what is best for the project.
