History
In 1987 Thiess Services launched its environmental services business.[1] In 1994, Visionstream was established as a subsidiary of Telstra, to design and build its cable television network.[2] In December 1996 Leighton Contractors purchased Visionstream.[3]
In 2015 CIMIC Group merged its Leighton Contractors Services, Thiess Services and Visionstream divisions to form Ventia. Apollo Global Management took a 50% shareholding in the company.[4] In June 2020, Broadspectrum was purchased from Ferrovial.[5][6]
In 2021 Ventia was floated on the Australian Securities Exchange and New Zealand Exchange as a dual listed company.[7][8] CIMIC and Apollo each retained 32.8% shareholdings. In May 2023, both reduced their stakes to 15%.[9]
