Aarufield Ltd. is a financial advisor for major projects in renewable energy focusing on offshore wind. Although only founded in 2015, this consulting company has already established itself as a significant and firm global player in the financial centres of the London and the European offshore markets. 8.2 Consulting has been active for many years as a technical advisor for international customers in the on- and offshore industry, and has been ranked, once again this year, by independent German sources like "brand eins Wissen" and "Statista", as being among the best technical advisors in the field of renewable energies in Germany. With their new partner Aarufield, 8.2 Consulting now enters the UK offshore wind market, one of the most important in Europe.
