Company Strategies

First Class Partnerships has helped several companies determine their future direction and strategies in the rail sector. Working at Board and CEO level we have recommended market entry and positioning strategies for a number of companies. We have worked with major transport groups in such diverse fields as franchise bidding and mobilisation strategy, open access, sales and acquisitions. We have also provided strong strategic advice concerning the specification, design and development of major infrastructure projects.

In particular we have advised companies from the European Union on appropriate entry strategies into the UK market and have also supported the strategic decisions of FTSE 100 companies, including banks, when they were considering broadening the scope of their activities in the rail sector. In Argentina we recommended a major bulk supplier to consider a rail distribution option and then undertook a feasibility study to support a decision to construct a new railway. In Hong Kong we reviewed the implications of a company merger and provided strategic advice on market entry opportunities in the European Union.

First Class Partnerships provides strategic, commercial, operations, engineering and infrastructure rail consultancy and advice to leading rail companies, investors in rail, governments and regulators around the globe.
