They have a good appetite for risk and genuinely appreciate our expertise and advice. It has been great to see the evolution of their balanced portfolio of projects in an equally balanced portfolio of territories, growing into Dubai to service the Middle East territories; and in Melbourne, Australia – all with the plan of mitigating risks after BREXIT!”
