Poise Group

What Poise Group does

Poise Group is a UK-based engineering consulting firm headquartered in London, founded in 2003 and operating with a workforce of 101–250 employees. The firm provides design and project management services across three infrastructure-adjacent verticals: rail, the built environment, and the energy sector. Its commercial posture is that of a for-profit, privately-held specialist consultancy rather than a product manufacturer or equipment vendor.

The firm's value proposition is professional engineering services delivered into UK infrastructure projects, spanning the design-to-delivery lifecycle. Its three-vertical specialisation (rail, built environment, energy) reflects a deliberate concentration on capital-intensive, regulated end markets where design and project management expertise is a contracted input. Detailed disclosures on revenue model mechanics (e.g., fee structure, retainer vs. project pricing), specific client logos, geographic scope beyond the UK, technology platforms, certifications, and leadership team are not present in the available source material. The website is listed as poisegroup.uk, and corporate identity is anchored in London.

Note: the aggregated source set contains substantial data describing BRUSH (BRUSH Group), a separate 1876-founded UK power engineering equipment manufacturer. That body of data does not describe Poise Group's design and project management consulting activity and is treated here as out of scope for this analysis.
