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 />
