MCBAINS
COOPER MEXICO
PRISONS PROJECT NAMED IN LATIN AMERICAN TOP 100.
A construction and development programme in Mexico
advised upon by property and construction consultancy McBains Cooper has been
named amongst the Top 100 Infrastructure Projects in Latin
America .
The Mexican Government’s Public-Private
Partnership programme of prison developments has been given the ranking by one
of the region’s leading business magazines – America Economica.
McBains Cooper is based in London, but has a
Latin American operation based in Miami, and has now been invited to make a
presentation about the programme to the Latin American Infrastructure Forum in
Lima, Peru, in May. McBains Cooper was technical advisor to the Mexican Ministry of Security which project
managed the developments.
Santiago
Klein, managing director of McBains Cooper International, says there’s a steady
but growing flow of demand for UK
construction consultancy expertise in Latin
America for both public and private sector related
projects with an especially positive forecast for Public-Private Partnerships.
“Every
region of the world has a different way of going about doing business, and Latin America ’s way is a
complex mix of who you know, what language you speak and the pedigree of
professional expertise. Latin America is dominated by two languages and a
deep-seated enthusiasm for UK professionals –
so we tick lots of boxes,” said Santiago Klein.
“We’re
a long-established UK company, with
on-the-ground presence and local business experience in several Latin American
countries – and that makes us of great interest to the decision-makers.
“But
crucial to the whole process is the who-you-know: in Latin America the deals
are done between businesses and organisations who know and trust one-another,
which is fundamental to protecting the integrity of the contract - and a
general rule of thumb is that it’s necessary to have an in-depth understanding
and business intelligence of the local markets to be successful in the region.
“We
have vast experience across Latin America on both inward investment support and
PPP bids and contracts – we have a compelling proposition to businesses and
organisations not just in Mexico , but much
further afield in Latin America .”
