Deloitte brings infrastructure guru home
James Riddell has returned to Deloitte Australia to head its infrastructure mergers and acquisitions (M&A) team across Australia and Asia.
He will also fill a global leadership role for Deloitte in infrastructure M&A as part of the Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu International global infrastructure and capital programs market offering.
Riddell has spent the last seven years leading Deloitte UK's infrastructure M&A team.
Deloitte Australia managing partner financial advisory services, Ian Thatcher, said Riddell's European experience would stand him in good stead to drive the Australian business.
He said a number of factors were expanding the markets for infrastructure - in Australia as well as globally.
"Those with access to capital continue to ponder the right long-term ownership model for infrastructure assets, as they assess the relative attractiveness of forthcoming government asset disposal programs in Australia and the likely expansion of infrastructure investment opportunities up into Asia.
"James' impending global role will also ensure he continues to play a leading role supporting Deloitte clients around the world as the global market continues to expand for investors owning energy and transport infrastructure assets."
Riddell has been in the industry for 23 years, 14 of which have been spent as a Deloitte partner advising investors on core infrastructure assets including transport, energy and other long-term assets.
As a leading transaction adviser with Deloitte UK, he has advised infrastructure funds, pension funds and insurance companies on infrastructure business globally.
