About Us
Our business was incorporated in May 2017 and founded by John Hillis. The other Directors joined the business shortly thereafter.
The business is a specialist provider of property and project management services to acquiring authorities and developers of energy, utilities and infrastructure projects.
Whilst we only act for the party seeking to develop and assemble the rights in land our team is a cross-section of the property and infrastructure industry and have an understanding from the landowner and occupier perspective.

– Following the tragic sinking of a fishing vessel in 1991, together with Commander Dave Philips RN established a new “safe code of conduct” for submarines involved in the “Perisher” training course and indeed all submarines traversing through fishing grounds.
