Since 2009, we have developed and managed infrastructure that support the lives of people, homes and businesses internationally.
Established through a management buyout in 2009, Amber’s founding partners have invested together in the sector since 2000, with a summary of the key events in our history below.
During this time, we are delighted to have been recognised through a number of awards. These awards span the infrastructure asset class, from PPPs to renewable energy platforms, and demonstrate the breadth and expertise of the team and Amber's successful track record as an award-winning manager.
