Our story
From our humble beginnings over 20 years ago, Amberside is now part of one of the leading business consultancies in the world today.
How we work at Amberside
Whilst our industry-renowned financial models are at the core of our business and the heart of many of our projects, it’s the combination of our experience across industries, deal size and type, that enables us to deliver exceptional advisory services.
We pride ourselves on building models that provide usable and useful information, often forming the basis of our commercial advice. Our clients repeatedly tell us we solve their complex challenges in an unexpectedly simple manner.
Our core industry sectors are low carbon, transport, decentralised energy, large scale energy and infrastructure, and we regularly advise on major projects ranging across heat networks, wind, solar and biomass, road and rail, schools and hospitals, as well as public service delivery contracts in sectors such as local authorities, healthcare, education and justice.
Through our partnership with Steer, we serve a global client base through 26 offices across four continents. We value our close working relationships with our clients and thrive on providing robust advice, often on complex issues, based on our detailed knowledge and rigorous understanding of the project.
Put simply, we make a good deal great.
Being part of the Steer Group
We are proud to be part of the Steer Group, a global business consultancy that combines commercial, economic, technical and planning expertise to help people, places and economies thrive.
Founded in 1978, Steer are a firm of specialists – strategists, researchers, analysts, economists, planners, designers, engineers and technologists.
Steer is employee-owned, enabling them to provide impartial, objective and result-driven advice that helps clients maximise opportunity and realise value in an ever-changing landscape.
Our Net Zero Commitment
Steer is committed to successfully operating as a Net Zero Carbon company by 2025. As part of the Steer Group, we share that ambition.
We aim to be Net Zero Carbon by 2025 and Near Zero Carbon by 2030, through less than 50% offsetting, and only with offsetting that is local to our operations, and that is consistent with our social values.
Our aim is to embody decarbonisation and wider sustainable development goals through all aspects of how we work, in our strategies, our planning, and our day-to-day activities.
Amberside's social impact
As part of Steer, we focus on three key areas that can have social impact:
social responsibility: our role in helping people, places and economies thrive means that we take our social and cultural responsibilities seriously and that they form an important part of our culture and values.
equality, diversity & inclusivity: vitally important to us – helping us better serve our employees, clients and our communities.
social value & community engagement: we encourage each other to contribute positively to our local communities and environments.
Research and Innovation
For Steer and Amberside, robust and insightful research is a prerequisite and continuous innovation is essential. It is these qualities that allow us to address the most complex challenges facing our cities, communities and infrastructure providers.
We believe in sharing experience and best practice with our communities and clients – from in-depth research through to time-saving ‘shortcuts’.
