Freshwater Strategy is pleased to announce expansion of its operations into the United Kingdom after back-to-back years of strong growth in Australia. The new office, on Albemarle Street, Mayfair, will open on Monday, 9 September 2024.

Freshwater is experiencing strong demand for its research and advisory services internationally and will leverage existing and new opportunities with on-the-ground expertise in the British capital.

Our aim is to expand Australia’s influence in the world’s financial capital with a focus on growing the Australia-UK trade and investment relationship, across sectors where Freshwater is an established and influential player. These include energy, critical minerals, highly regulated markets, infrastructure, and sport.

Freshwater Strategy Director, Nicholas Nogarotto, will lead the expansion into the United Kingdom, drawing on his relationships, and previously successful experience building a business in the market. Freshwater has hired influential public policy expert, Matthew Lesh, as Country Manager to anchor its expansion alongside Nicholas.

Nogarotto said:

 “The UK is an exciting international capital market with deep financial and cultural links to Australia. With multiple trade and defence agreements in place, there are huge commercial opportunities for investors and companies in both hemispheres.”

“With our expertise across key sectors, combined with best-in-class research, Freshwater is well-placed to support clients with our signature approach to transforming uncertainty into opportunity.”
