The business comprises:
- PFI concessions - Aberdeen Environmental Services (AES), Connect Roads, Consort Healthcare, Health Management (UCLH), Powerlink and Transform Schools
- Non-PFI infrastructure - Barking Power and Regional & City Airports
The company has its headquarters in London and has offices across the UK. It is expanding into Public Private Partnership (PPP) and PFI markets in other global markets. It operates as Gammon Capital in South-East Asia, Balfour Beatty Capital Inc in the US and Balfour Beatty Capital GmbH in Germany.
Balfour Beatty Capital has a broad range of infrastructure investment skills from project promotion and development through to financing, project execution and long-term asset management and operations.
