ABOUT THIS COMPANY:
Made in AustraliaAlthough the Australian banking and financial services giant Macquarie Group Limited has had a presence in London since the 1980s, it didn’t become a household name there until 2005 when it famously failed to buy the London Stock Exchange. Macquarie’s £1.5 billion offer was less than the LSE’s share price at the time and was, as one journalist put it at the time, “laughed all the way out of town.” The LSE’s share price has since fallen well below Macquarie’s offer, and Macquarie is no laughing matter. The bank has built a solid reputation in Europe with its gung-ho dedication to investing in low-risk infrastructure investments, holding stakes in several major European airports, a fleet of London buses, ferries, tunnels, toll-roads and motorways.
