Alan Somerville MRICS FRSA
Advisor to boards, investors, and founders. Real assets, energy, and infrastructure: value, performance, and risk.
With over 30 years of experience in real estate investment, development, and infrastructure, including senior roles at Tritax Big Box REIT, Cushman & Wakefield and advisory mandates for Orion Capital Partners, Aberdeen Investors, and Manx Financial Group. I now help boards, investors, and founders make next-generation decisions across real assets, energy, and sustainability.
My approach connects asset value with operational performance by leveraging commercial strategy, energy systems, and data-driven insights to improve outcomes and build resilient high performing portfolios.
I use my real world & client side experience to deliver pragmatic solutions which are outcome orientated.

Asset-first thinking: Each engagement is anchored to a specific asset, portfolio, or platform and its role in the business model.
Structured conversations: We start with focused board, IC or management conversations to align objectives and define the small number of decisions that move the dial.
Independent challenge before capital deployment: We stress‑test assumptions, claims and unit economics before capital is committed or projects go to IC or Board.
Translation between domains: We translate between technical experts and investors, converting product and policy details into rent, yield, valuation and exit language.
Customer-side credibility:
We bring significant client side experience of procurement & operational integration.
Distilled decisions, ready for operations: We strip out noise and turn complex programmes into clear actions that integrate into asset management and investment.
