Five V Invests in Umwelt

Five V Capital are pleased to announce our partnership with Umwelt Environmental & Social Consultants, a fast-growing independent environmental and social consulting firm operating nationally.

Umwelt has a proud history, having been established in 1993 to support projects in the Hunter Valley region. Since 2017 Umwelt has been on a journey to build a nationally recognised practice with a strong presence across Australia, and today employs more than 300 professionals across eight offices.

Umwelt offers a comprehensive suite of environmental and social consulting services, supporting clients across the asset life cycle from early-stage site assessments through to advisory, approvals, asset management, and closure. Umwelt services a wide range of corporate and government clients across the infrastructure, energy, mining and transportation sectors, and is recognised for its independent, values-driven and client-focused approach.

We’re proud to be partnering with Barbara Crossley (Co-Founder and Managing Director) and the company’s employee shareholders to support the next phase of growth, including opportunities over time to broaden the business’ service offering, deepen its expertise and invest further in the team.

This partnership aligns with Five V’s strategy of backing high quality businesses that benefit from attractive market tailwinds and offer strong growth potential. Umwelt is the third investment from our Frontier strategy, which focuses on partnering with ANZ’s best emerging growth companies.

Thank you to our advisers: Corrs Chambers Westgarth, BDO, PwC, OC&C Strategy Consultants
