PKF Francis Clark supports Quinbrook on £100m green transport investment

PKF Francis Clark advised Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners (Quinbrook) on their investment in Aegis Energy.

Quinbrook is a specialist global investment manager focused on the infrastructure needed for the energy transition. This investment of up to £100 million aims to spearhead the deployment of clean multi-energy refuelling hubs for commercial vehicles across the UK.

Aegis Energy plans to develop a network of hubs to meet the needs of truck and van operators transitioning to cleaner fuels, including electric, hydrotreated vegetable oil, hydrogen and bio-compressed natural gas. An initial five-station network is planned to be completed by the end of 2027. Each hub will have the capacity to charge or fuel approximately 40+ heavy goods vehicles and 25+ vans simultaneously.

A team at PKF Francis Clark – including Rob Gear, Adam Kefford, Sophie Swift and Rob Crocker – provided comprehensive financial and tax due diligence services to Quinbrook on this investment.

Corporate finance director Rob Gear said: “We were delighted to work with Quinbrook again and excited to be involved in this landmark deal, which promises to make a significant impact on the UK’s clean energy landscape.

“Our team’s expertise in advising on transactions in the renewables sector supported Quinbrook’s investment decision. We look forward to seeing Aegis Energy build this pioneering infrastructure to enable the next wave of low and zero-emission trucks and vans to hit the UK’s roads.”

This investment aligns with Quinbrook’s commitment to advancing renewable energy infrastructure and supporting the UK’s transition to a sustainable energy future.
