Alex Murray
Infrastructure and Projects Authority
Senior Analyst
Alex started his career at KPMG Corporate Finance benchmarking the operations of PFI and conventionally procured social infrastructure assets, applying whole life cost frameworks. This became the topic for his PhD while researching at UCL’s Bartlett School of Construction and Project Management. During his time there as a Teaching Fellow, as well as lecturing to both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes on the economics and finance of the built environment, he contributed to the establishment of the MSc Infrastructure Investment and Finance, running financial modelling workshops and supervising dissertation research. He has published widely on the business models applied in UK construction and infrastructure industries. These include a BIS commissioned report on UK construction contractors reliance on trade credit to finance their operations (BIS report 118), analysis on secondary market for PFI equities as well as accounts based assessment of the financial performance of UK PFI SPVs. Alex recently joined the Infrastructure and Projects Authority to embed his research on benchmarking PFI projects beside continuing his work on colating data on out turn construction cost and on-going operational costs. These will feed into whole life cost assessments of recent programmes, delivering insights to inform future capital investments.
