Waste to Energy
Announcements prior to September 2017, including this announcement, occurred under previous ownership.
04 October 2013
Chris Holmes joins GIB from Dutch bank NIBC where he led the Capital Markets division of the Infrastructure and Renewables business and managed their UK origination and advisory practice.
An infrastructure and renewables expert with a focus on waste management, Chris has spent over a decade with the bank, leading on a number of high profile PFI/PPP transactions.
Prior to NIBC, Chris was with Grant Thornton in their Project Finance team.
Chris joins a well-established team at GIB who are focussed on supporting the last remaining local authority PPP / PPI projects, supporting the growth of the commercial and industrial waste sector and working to help finance the emerging UK anaerobic digestion sector. Chris will also work closely with Greensphere Capital LLP and Foresight Group, who manage the two waste funds in which GIB has invested.
Chris takes over from Adrian Judge who was one of the earliest members of the GIB team, working within Government before the GIB launched in November 2012. Adrian always intended to step back from his full-time role once he had established the wider team and set the strategy. He has no immediate plans and continue to support GIB on a number of key initiatives. Adrian will also continue in his role as a Board member of the Evermore CHP plant in Northern Ireland, one of GIB's most recent investments in the waste sector.
