According to the announcement released by ISPT, Cain has operated M21 Pty Ltd, a property and commercial advisory business servicing the government, semi-government and corporate sectors since 2006.
It said he had broad property, construction and development experience in senior roles with Lend Lease corporation and the Victorian Government’s major projects unit.
