HaskoningDHV UK

HaskoningDHV UK

HaskoningDHV UK Limited functions as the UK corporate pension entity for the Royal HaskoningDHV Group, an engineering and project-management consultancy headquartered in Amersfoort, Netherlands. The UK entity runs from Peterborough with additional offices in London and Scotland. Its investment function draws on the parent group's century-plus history in maritime engineering, water management, and industrial infrastructure — a lineage that shapes the pension fund's asset allocation toward real assets and infrastructure where the sponsoring employer holds deep technical insight. The pension fund pursues a diversified, multi-asset-class strategy with an observable tilt toward tangible infrastructure, maritime assets, and energy-transition projects. Asset-class coverage spans direct real estate — including the Westpoint Peterborough Business Park headquarters — alongside infrastructure equity, renewable-energy platforms, and water-resilience investments. The fund's relationship with the parent engineering group creates a form of embedded technical due diligence: investment teams can draw on in-house expertise in geotechnical engineering, coastal management, and flood-defense systems when evaluating infrastructure opportunities. Membership in the Society of Maritime Industries and the Association of Drainage Authorities signals an investment posture oriented around water-level management, coastal resilience, and port infrastructure — asset themes where the parent consultancy is itself a recognized technical advisor. The UK entity operates with Mark Powell as Managing Director and David McKnight as Head of Sustainability, reflecting a governance structure that integrates ESG oversight directly into pension management. Total current assets are held within the UK corporate entity, which maintains a registered office at 1 Finsbury Circus in London and a secondary London presence at Finsbury Pavement. Additional Scottish operations through the Arch Henderson maritime engineering network suggest the pension fund may hold regionally focused assets tied to Scotland's offshore-wind and port infrastructure sectors. The entity's philanthropic connection runs through Stichting HaskoningDHV, the parent group's foundation based in the Netherlands. What distinguishes this pension fund structurally is its adjacency to a design-and-engineering parent. Rather than outsourcing technical asset evaluation to third-party consultants, the fund can pull on the Royal HaskoningDHV Group's own project engineers — people who design the water-treatment plants, port expansions, and renewable-energy sites the fund may ultimately invest in. This embedded technical lens creates a sourcing and due-diligence advantage uncommon among corporate pension schemes of comparable scale.
