Bluefield Asset Management operated primarily in the resources sector, delivering advisory services across the full life cycle of mining assets – from equipment strategy and planning to optimisation, operation, reliability improvement and decommissioning.
Deloitte is a leading global professional services firm working with clients across industries to deliver innovative solutions and transform business performance through data, technology, and advisory expertise.
Bluefield had established itself as a market leader in mining asset maintenance but sought a strategic partner to broaden its service offering and move further up the value chain as part of its next phase of growth. After an extensive search, Deloitte Australia emerged as a well-suited strategic investor with a strong interest in expanding its maintenance consulting capabilities.
The acquisition positions Deloitte as a one-stop shop for comprehensive asset management services. As a result of the transaction, the Bluefield team formally joined Deloitte Consulting’s Transformation & Operations team.
Our team worked closely with Bluefield’s shareholders throughout the entire process, including preparing the information memorandum, marketing the business to a select group of well-suited investors, managing the due diligence process and assisting with transaction structuring, contract negotiation, and final completion.
