HFV is a company incorporated in the UK and Sierra Leone.
Our objective is to bring together a world-class team, with access to government, financiers and technical expertise, to develop an infrastructure and agriculture Project in West Africa.
Our vision is for the Region to realize its potential by assisting in its development and use of its own abundant natural resources to feed itself, fuel its power requirements, develop its infrastructure and improve the quality of the lives of its citizens.
HFV conducts its business in a responsible manner, with a particular emphasis on sustainability and climate change, whilst endeavouring to create jobs, train locals and contribute to the communities in which it does business.
HFV was formed by Sierra Leoneans to help develop opportunities in the region. These have included projects in Infrastructure, Agriculture, Energy, Sustainable Energy and Mining to date.
