LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Nov. 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- AHEB Investment Group is pleased to announce its exclusive joint venture with UK based company Quicksilver Project Management Ltd to offer bespoke project management services. The partnership will involve Quicksilver assisting select clients of AHEB in all stages of major projects, from initial pre-project planning and design, all the way through to execution, monitoring and control.

Quicksilver Project Management is a UK based company which was incorporated in 2004. QuickSilver's expert consultants have experience managing and monitoring major multi-million euro projects in many key sectors, which complements AHEB's experience in financing these types of project. Some of these include works as diverse as bio-fuel installations, waste facilities, major construction works such as airports, bridges, railroad systems and road networks, as well as projects for conservation of sites of historical importance and heritage.

The board of directors of the company includes members and fellows of distinguished and respected institutions such as the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, The Royal Institute of British Architects, Chartered accountants and members of the Institutes of Chemical, Mechanical and Civil engineers. Many of them have also been senior managers of major international firms such as KPMG, McCormicks, Bywaters and American Great Lakes Corp, so they bring with them a wealth of experience in best practice management.

AHEB Investment Group clients will enjoy a diverse range of new services under the joint venture, and in particular, highly demanding engineering and development projects will benefit from expert assistance with first class project management, commercial and consulting services. QuickSilver's main role will be to mediate between AHEB Group and its clients and to assume hands on monitoring, reporting and validation of project delivery, working closely alongside any trusted local project consultants.

For any AHEB Group Investment client projects undertaken by QuickSilver Project Management, the company will be involved in all aspects from the very first stages of planning. A team of experts will review the pre-delivery processes in place for the project, assess and recommend sponsorship options, complete an in-depth review of project design and selection of key management team members. They will also assess key environmental impacts of any major projects, assume responsibility for licensing and permits and scope out the projects in terms of resources and risk planning.

During the construction stages, the support offered includes operations management and supervision to ensure that all engineering and mechanical as well as financial objectives are met and ongoing progress is closely monitored. Following completion, Quicksilver consultants will also compile final snagging lists and ensure contracts are fulfilled and signed off by all parties, providing peace of mind to investors and key stakeholders in these major projects and ensuring delivery within project guidelines.

"Partnering with a company of Quicksilver's reputation, experience and expertise ensures that our clients' projects are professionally executed and also monitored on an ongoing basis with consulting and input throughout execution. For the investors which we recruit for each major  project, this is a key benefit and an added reassurance that AHEB will enable them to meet their investment goals and that the projects they are involved in will be carried out in the most professional and viable manner possible."

Through trusted relationships with its extensive network of individual and professional investors seeking ventures to fund, AHEB helps to provide major projects with investors and to source potential providers of guarantees or collateral required for loans.

AHEB's management team has also developed strong relationships with several of the world's leading global financial institutions, and through its experience setting up complicated financing solutions, has a thorough understanding of the complex funding application and approval processes. As such, AHEB is able to advise clients of how to best go about their loan application, becoming instrumental in the negotiation process with the banks.
