The broader IGH team provides in-depth advice on the strategic, financial, regulatory and commercial issues driving investments in infrastructure across Healthcare, Education, Local Government and Social Housing as well as Transport and Power & Utilities. This ranges from providing strategic advice to financing investments, to working with the public sector to develop the business cases and delivery plans to get change approved within government, and advising through negotiations and processes that support that change.
