Ferguson Partners and Curzon Announce New Global Partnership

Leading executive search firms team up to increase worldwide operations and expand infrastructure sector reach

CHICAGO, March 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ferguson Partners (Ferguson), the leading talent management and strategic advisory firm for the global real assets industries, and Curzon, the leading specialist executive search firm in Europe across the infrastructure and energy sectors, are announcing a new partnership that will expand their combined global reach and increase their market presence in talent management for the infrastructure market.

With nine offices globally, Ferguson Partners has built its reputation as a trusted advisor and talent management leader for executives in the real assets sector. Curzon, based in London, is widely known for its deep expertise in executive recruitment in the infrastructure industry. This new collaboration will allow Curzon to scale its operations globally and gain access to Ferguson's consulting expertise. At the same time, Ferguson will have the opportunity to extend its reach into the growing infrastructure segment of the real assets sector.

"It is a natural fit to enter into this strategic partnership at this juncture, particularly in light of the combination of infrastructure and real estate into real assets platforms at so many private equity real estate firms globally," notes William J. Ferguson, Co-Founder, Co-Chairman, and CEO of Ferguson Partners. "The Ferguson/Curzon partnership is uniquely qualified to be a one-stop shop in providing best in class talent management capabilities to these global organizations."

"At Curzon, we have been committed to infrastructure since our inception. We have always believed in the value of genuine market expertise and a partner-led, client-centric approach to our searches which sets us apart," notes Chris Campbell, Managing Partner, Curzon. "Our combination with Ferguson brings together two firms whose ethos and client focus will allow us to deliver a first-class service across the entire real assets sector globally. It is a hugely exciting development for us as a firm and one which places our combined platform at the forefront of infrastructure talent management."

The projected $15 trillion global infrastructure industry is expected to continue its growth in the coming years, driven by trends in digitalization, decarbonization, and deglobalization. The sector has also seen increased M&A activity along with companies exploring new strategies and geographies, all of which is expected to bring new opportunities for the new Ferguson Partners and Curzon partnership.
