Thank you to Greenbase and Nic Po***ck for hosting Kirsty at today’s Business News’ Sector Briefing on The Future of Energy.

It was a valuable opportunity to be part of the conversation around Western Australia’s energy transition and the role industry will play in shaping a cleaner, more resilient future. Discussions highlighted the scale of change underway, with strong investment in renewable energy, infrastructure, and local capability positioning WA as a global leader in the industries of the future.

A key takeaway was the importance of collaboration between government, industry and the community to deliver reliable, affordable energy while creating jobs and supporting local businesses across the state.

Great to be in the room with so many industry leaders driving this important conversation.

On Wednesday Kirsty Danby (CEO) and Chantel Cullen (Associate Director) attended the WA Mining Club Luncheon as guests of MDR Certification Engineers Pty Ltd alongside the Malaysian Consul General Nur Eliza, Aimeer Raffiq Ahmad Ridzwan (Consulate General of Malaysia Perth) and Muhamad Hafiz Ismail (Consul, Education) Gabriella Roccisano, (Yindjibarndi Energy Corporation) Grant Young (Managing Director at Baynton & Co) and Craig Davies (Managing Director of B.I.E International). Thank you to Gary Holder for the invitation.

Rob Telford, Talison Lithium, shared a clear reminder that in mining, it’s frontline operational teams who turn ore into saleable product.

“If we’re not doing something to make it safer for them, simpler, more productive, and more satisfying to do - then what are we doing?” he said, pointing to the importance of strong leadership in supporting and enabling people on the ground.

Thank you to Jordan Pedley (President WA Mining Club), Cassandra Brennan (Operations and Events Manager, WA Mining Club) and the committee for all the work you do to create such a fantastic club and event.
