NCL works in every part of the industry and has sat on both sides of most tables.
Governments and public bodies come to NCL for policy, framework and institutional work, business cases to public sector standards and independent advice. Regulators come for regulatory transformation, capability and a perspective from people who have sat on the other side of the table. Operators and licensees engage the full range of practices. Developers and technology vendors are taken from concept to final investment decision and through consenting and licensing.
Framework and Tier 1 contractors hold commitments that need capability their pipeline has outgrown. Suppliers entering the sector, and the licensees who depend on them, are served from both sides of the qualification. Investors, lenders, legal teams and insurers come to Advisory for opinions from named advisers. NCL is UK-based, with experts overseas and affiliate companies used where an assignment requires them.
