QAH is a flagship, acute public hospital with over 7,200 staff and 1,200 beds, that serves over 675,00 residents across Portsmouth and south-east Hampshire. InfraRed has been working proactively and collaboratively over a number of years with all the key project stakeholders to resolve defects and successfully de-risk the project. InfraRed will continue to lead the management of the project given the longstanding, established relationships with key stakeholders and InfraRed’s majority ownership. This divestment demonstrates InfraRed’s active management of the portfolio.
Dulce Mendonça, Partner at InfraRed Capital Partners said:
“QAH is an essential asset in the Portsmouth area, providing acute healthcare to the local population. We are committed to continuing to support QAH to deliver for this community, through our active management and strong relationships with stakeholders.”
Recently InfraRed also announced an investment in fibre-to-the-home platform Altitude Infra in France. This partial divestment of QAH will allow us to continue to pursue new investment opportunities within the core income space.
