Ambrian Hires Leading Utilities Analyst
LONDON, 20 January 2010 - Ambrian Partners Limited ("Ambrian"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambrian Capital plc, is pleased to announce that Angelos Anastasiou, a utilities analyst with over 20 years of experience in the sector, has joined the Company.
Starting at Panmure Gordon in 1986, where he rose to be Head of Utilities, Angelos has covered the sector throughout the period of privatisation and consolidation of the UK and European utility companies. Prior to joining Ambrian, Angelos was most recently Managing Director, Head of Utilities at Pali International and from 2000-2007 the UK Utilities Analyst at Williams de Broë (now Evolution Securities), a role which, at times, expanded into coverage of various European utilities and built on a three year period with Credit Lyonnais Securities.
Richard Chase, Managing Director of Ambrian Partners, commented,
"We are making great strides in expanding the breadth of our research coverage as well as the scale of companies followed. The utilities sector is proactively adapting to the rigors of ever increasing environmental awareness and legislation. As such, Angelos' utilities expertise will dovetail neatly with Ambrian's existing pre-eminent position in Cleantech, while also providing high quality large and mid cap research coverage in a new sector."
