Brendan Barratt: Director, Strategic Advisory at Mace

Master of Applied Finance, Graduate Diploma Applied Finance, Bachelor of Commerce

Brendan has had extensive experience both as an adviser, and within industry over the past 20 years. He has extensive experience in developing business cases for energy efficiency initiatives and new technologies.

Brendan’s key to success is an ongoing curiosity for how things work and how they can be done better. He uses a focus on “facts” and data to challenge “the way it is done” as well as the ambition of what can be done in the future.

Brendan has worked extensively in the public sector, both as a consultant and within the Infrastructure and Projects Authority, where he managed a portfolio of major projects from a governance, assurance and risk point of view. His ability to quickly understand the financial implications of technology will help build robust and concise proposals.

Brendan’s key skills include business case development, business valuations, economic impacts, delivery strategies, major programme assurance reviews, decarbonisation and renewable energy strategies, operational efficiency improvement, and operating model design.

Recent project experience includes:

  • Leading a team of technical and business case experts to identify and quantify the benefits of generating green electricity in low cost geographies, turning it into ammonia, shipping it to the UK and using it CCGT power plants to create baseload power
  • Leading the development of a best practice report on organisational design, operating model, and funding for mega projects that assesses Hong Kong’s ability to deliver two mega-projects.
  • Leading the analysis and review of 120 industrial decarbonisation business cases for Net Zero North West. He also led the systems mapping of the projects to understand the inter-relationships between them, which is a process that will need to be done for the UK Government Industry of the Future Programme (IFP).
  • Developing the Financial Case for Halton Power (Port Hydrogen) and working closely with the technical team to ensure that the scheme was financially and economically viable.
  • Developing the concept of a small autonomous metro system made up of minibus sized vehicles in tunnels and leading the development of the design and the engagement with DfT, IPA and financial partners.
  • Leading a team of consultants to produce a Delivery Strategy for the Scottish Cladding Remediation Programme that provides the content for a Five Case business case. This has involved developing the initial schedule, cost estimates, and supply chain requirements and gaps that need to be filled to deliver the programme.
  • Leading the project feasibility workstream for the Keflavik airport expansion in Iceland, including the identification of decarbonisation options and the viability of net zero carbon fuels for both airport infrastructure, ground vehicles and aircraft.
