Our strategy<br />
Our aim is to be the trusted<br />
partner of valued clients<br />
creating exceptional solutions<br />
worldwide.<br />
Overview:<br />
Our strategy is to offer core services to<br />
key clients; operating in geographies<br />
where market dynamics, our long<br />
established track record, and our<br />
professional expertise differentiate us<br />
from our competitors.<br />
We are differentiated through our<br />
ability to provide technical excellence<br />
from design teams located local to<br />
and remote from the client. By taking<br />
advantage of our common business<br />
systems, we can rapidly mobilise<br />
tailored design teams and collaborate<br />
geographically to solve client needs<br />
across our multinational network.<br />
We operate three design excellence<br />
centres to support our client facing<br />
operations in our five regions: a<br />
long-established design centre in<br />
the Philippines which undertakes<br />
the design of highways and property<br />
projects, a centre in India for the<br />
design of utility and rail projects, and<br />
a third centre in Bulgaria opened in<br />
2011 to support our German business.<br />
These centres now employ over 300<br />
people (8% of group headcount) and<br />
Our vision is to be the next<br />
evolution in design and<br />
engineering consultancy.<br />
provide access to a pool of qualified<br />
engineering resources at a lower cost<br />
than in certain of our end markets.<br />
We anticipate further growth in these<br />
design excellence centres in the year<br />
ahead.<br />
We want to expand both organically<br />
and through strategic acquisitions<br />
which will enhance our professional<br />
expertise and competitiveness in core<br />
markets and sectors. During the year<br />
we have completed three strategic<br />
acquisitions in attractive markets<br />
and geographies: ESR Technology, an<br />
energy business in the UK, the SAK<br />
infrastructure business in Saudi Arabia,<br />
and GW Engineers in Australia which<br />
operates in the resources sector.<br />
Our strategy is underpinned by our<br />
determination to achieve a common<br />
culture and shared values with our<br />
people, clients and the communities in<br />
which we operate.<br />
By adhering to a common strategy and<br />
clear direction across the group, <strong>Hyder</strong><br />
is now well positioned in its chosen<br />
markets with selected key clients.<br />
