PRESS RELEASE
May 2, 2012.
London-based international property and construction consultancy McBains
Cooper is making front page news in Peru after being involved in a Ministerial-level
meeting over planning of a $10 billion investment in the country’s
infrastructure.
McBains Cooper’s growing presence in Latin America as a go-to public
sector advisory body saw McBains’ London-based international director Anthony
Coumidis – who also leads the consultancy’s engineering and sustainability team
- join representatives of Citibank and Credit Suisse in a meeting with Peru’s
Finance Minister Luis Miguel Castilla Rubio in London’s Guild Hall; Peru is to
invest the $10 billion in PPP projects over the next five years, underlining
the Latin American economy’s development potential.
Anthony
Coumidis says there’s a 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 the pedigree of professional expertise you have, who you know and what
languages you speak. Latin America has a deep-seated enthusiasm for UK
professionals and our expertise in professional services – so our involvement
in such projects becomes compelling because of both our experience and our
team’s international makeup,” said Anthony Coumidis.
This expert status has already led to a construction and development
programme in Mexico advised
upon by McBains Cooper being 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‘s Latin American operation, based in Miami and led by
Santiago Klein, Managing Director of McBains Cooper International, has now been
invited to make a presentation about the programme to the Latin American
Infrastructure Forum in Lima, Peru, in May 2012. McBains Cooper was technical
advisor to the Mexican Ministry of Security which project-managed the
developments.
Santiago
Klein said: “We’re a long-established UK
“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 across Latin America – and Peru
