Projective was formed back in 1998 by two senior managers from a large project management consultancy and specialised in the project management of large utilities projects in the food & beverage industry and nuclear power generation sectors. I joined the business in 2004 when we grew even further in the food and beverage sectors and started works in municipal water sector focusing on energy reduction and the deployment of renewable power solutions.

In 2005, following several requests from large corporations in the food and beverage industry requested help to reduce their spend on energy and improve their water usage ratio’s. We developed our unique Process Energy and Water Management systems, we called these “Process Energy” and “Process Water”.
In late 2006, following the successful deployment of Process Energy and Process Water programmes to a number of client sites, Projective focused its process and utilities knowledge into the pharmaceutical sector and today this still remains one of our largest client sectors.

It was clear from those early days of the mid 2000’s that our corporate clients needs were similar across all our sectors, they needed expert engineering support they could trust to work in their best interests on a friendly & flexible basis, across all utilities.

From this point, Projective set out to be that company. In addition to our native project management and utilities asset management expertise, we created Internal centres of expertise and excellence to cover all utilities.

• Steam and thermal systems
• Compressed air and process gases
• Refrigeration systems
• Electrical power system and power resiliency
• Automation, control and instrumentation
• Industrial and potable water treatment
• Industrial and municipal wastewater treatment
• Energy and water management

With Projective specialising in working with large scale global corporations, Projective took the next step in early 2020 and opened offices initially in the US, based centrally in Indiana and in the EU based in Ireland and Italy.  These 3 new office centres have greatly reduced our travel time, improved response time and helped ensure we continue our journey to be a Carbon Neutral Company.

Projective are always looking at the marketplace and clients’ needs, we have already started to plan for the next 5 years by;

• Working with partners to bring 3rd party funding opportunities to our customers, who wish to accelerate their Net Zero journey, whilst maintaining valuable capital for their own business growth.
• Started developing training plans and material to help us build training academies based globally to fast track new talent from university into the sector, supporting clients directly in partnership at their sites or through traditional training or support contracts.
• Working with AI integrators to ensure that AI systems are providing value and optimal control using Projective real work experience to model, analyse and optimise systems from the virtualised digital twins to the real-life operating plant.
• Working with technology innovators to ensure the latest technology and solutions are available to our clients, but always ensuring all technology adoption risks and rewards and adequately understood.

At Projective, I am proud of our engineers & staff and the impact we are having whilst supporting our clients in delivering optimal asset and environmental performance.

Our aims can be summed up in two simple words – “Friendly Expert!” and we want you to be as proud to be working with us, as we are to be working with you.
