RPS, a leading multi-sector global professional services firm, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Corview, an Australian-based transport advisory consultancy, for a maximum consideration of AUD32m (£17.8m). This transaction further strengthens RPS's deep expertise in the region. Corview will form an important part of the Group's AAP segment and will be included in a newly created, integrated advisory team in the region, adding breadth and depth to RPS' existing strong advisory capabilities. Commenting on the acquisition, John Douglas, Chief Executive of RPS, said: "We look for acquisitions that will add density, not greater diversity; that are value creative and that are congruent with our brand and our culture. Corview is known for its expertise in enabling clients to make informed investment decisions and manage complex infrastructure transactions across all phases of project development and delivery. This makes them a natural fit for our business and I am delighted to make Corview our first major acquisition under my tenure as CEO of RPS."
