I was surprised to read the article (QS News, page 5, 24 February) claiming EC Harris could become the "first QS and project management group... to take a major stake in a PPP-style project" when in fact they are 10 years behind the initiative taken by McBains.

So successful was the decision to invest in PPP/PFI that McBains has now metamorphosed into the Guildhouse Group (still run by the same board that took the decision) which has invested about £10m into PFI/PPP projects and is now planning a further £20m investment.
