Care and support

Young Herts - What is it?

The Young Herts Consortium comprises two shareholders, Geoffrey Osborne Limited and UME Investments and is a team established solely to deliver the Hertfordshire Children's, Schools and Families Private Finance Initiative (PFI) project.

The facilities management delivery partner is Community Buildings Services, part of the William Sutton Housing Group. The senior debt funding will be provided by Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC), with whom UME investments have a successful track record of PFI delivery.

Whilst the shareholders have created Young Herts as a bespoke consortium for the project they have an existing relationship as sponsors and delivery partners for the New4Old elderly care PFI project in Croydon, which last year reached financial close.

The Young Herts delivery team is based in Milton Keynes and comes with a wealth of relevant Public Private Partnerships, Registered Social Landlord, care and public sector experience.
