Innovation

Innovation has been a cornerstone of John Laing’s history and it is a tradition that will see the company thrive well into the future. Be it the early time and 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 on the list of the company’s priorities.

Today that maxim is no less valid. Throughout the last 15 years John Laing has led the way in the implementation of PFI and PPP projects and is now at the forefront of providing procurement solutions through other routes as well. The company’s 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.

The company has never been afraid to come up with new ideas to solve tricky problems and its 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.  John Laing’s long term vision allows it to provide innovative procurement solutions enabling it to add value to projects in a way that others, with more traditional funding structures, cannot.
