About
​
Originally based on HMS President (1918) we had to up anchor due to the potential development of the "Garden Bridge' and the Thames Water Super Drain development. Though we remain fleet of foot working outside of the normal corporate norm. We seek to align our interests with our partners, being project lead but remain based in London.
The company was originally founded by Simon Grier-Jones on the basis of a more flexible and adaptive development entity than the corporate companies he had spent the last 20 plus years working for. His profile can be viewed on Linkedin via the contact button below.
​
It's our ability to look and think laterally outside of the norm that enables us to achieve. LGD actively look at Joint Venture, Profit Share or Fee based work with a range of partners, whether a project requires strategic foresight, project or development management, or financial backing, we create teams to promote and deliver.
