Laing

Innovation has been a cornerstone of John Laing's history and it is a tradition that will see us thrive well into the future. Be it the motion studies that Sir John Laing himself introduced, which were ahead of their time, or his commitment to fair and honest working at a period in history when this wasn't always the norm, an innovative approach to business has always been high up onour list of priorities.

Today that maxim is no less valid. John Laing has leads the way in the implementation of PPP projects and is now at the forefront of providing procurement solutions through a variety of routes as well. Our innovative approach to financial solutions has enabled many projects to succeed when they might otherwise have stumbled. The ability to find new ways to release equity will enable the company to stand out from its rivals as it moves more and more into global markets.

We have never been afraid to come up with new ideas to solve tricky problems and our history is littered with examples such as Easiform, a revolutionary building technique to solve the housing crisis in the post First World War era. In the modern global economy those revolutionary ideas take the form of new ways to finance and facilitate projects.Our long-term vision allows us to provide innovative procurement solutions, such as Local Asset Backed Vehicles (LABV) or Property Partnerships as they are becoming more commonly known, enabling us to add value to projects in a way that others, with more traditional funding structures, cannot.
