TradeRisks Expands Infrastructure Advisory and Financial Modelling offering


TradeRisks has announced the appointment of three experienced project finance professionals, Tom Paul, Elizabeth Snape and Ben Fry as part of the firm’s continued expansion into the infrastructure and financial modelling arenas.

“Over the last 18 months, we have made notable inroads into the infrastructure sector and these appointments build upon this success by broadening the scope of services that we can offer our clients”, said Alex Pilato, Chief Executive of TradeRisks. “We have already been able to deliver significant value to infrastructure bidders and investors through our debt and derivatives capabilities and this will now be complemented by an advisory service covering the whole primary infrastructure project cycle as well secondary assets”.

“Through the introduction of transparency, effective competition and new end-user to end-user markets, we have achieved great success in reducing funding and execution costs for borrowers in other sectors and we see many opportunities to achieve similar efficiencies in the infrastructure sector”.

Tom Paul, who joins as an Associate Director, specialises in structuring complex projects and financial modelling. His experience of transactions with a total capex of £6bn includes project finance, public-private partnerships, commissioning, divestment, and operational analysis.
Elizabeth Snape and Ben Fry, both joining TradeRisks as Senior Analysts, join from KPMG and Deloitte Audit and Financial Modelling teams respectively having covered the infrastructure, financial services, mining and energy sectors.
