Eaton Square would like to congratulate the shareholders and staff of Corview on their Sale to RPS.
Eaton Square acted as exclusive advisor to Corview on the sale of their business. Corview was advised by Mark Goodwin, Managing Principal, Darren Watt, Principal and Reece Adnams, CEO and Global Managing Principal.
Corview is a leading provider of strategic advice for major infrastructure projects with offices in Brisbane and Sydney. Its services range from strategy and planning, economics, investment and finance advice, through to transaction management and commercial and project delivery.
The sale to RPS will allow Corview to offer a broader range of consultancy services to its clients, drawing on RPS’s global presence and expertise. In return, RPS and its current clients will benefit from Corview’s strong position and experience in the booming East Coast infrastructure market.
“This is a great outcome for both Corview’s shareholders and its staff who now have the opportunity to develop their careers within RPS’s global business”, noted Mark Goodwin. “Corview is embedded in many of the East Coast’s major infrastructure projects and joining force with RPS will benefit the delivery of these assets.”
“This transaction again demonstrates the attractiveness of the Australian market to overseas acquirers. Eaton Square now works between its offices in Canada, the US, London, Asia and Australia for most transactions”, noted Reece Adnams, CEO at Eaton Square.
