Last week I was asked to host the Secure the Future Green Energy Forum.
With the world in uncertainty it was great to hear about sustainable aviation fuels and gas reservation policy to transmission networks and wind energy, the conversations were bold and future-focused, with industry leaders, government and for the first time ever, global investors, all in the room.
It definitely opened my eyes to other opportunities we can explore.

Thank you to (TEL) for having me on board and I look forward to the next event in the Secure the future series the Mining and Critical Minerals Futures Forum

Time to go home as I leave and and Georgie in Europe for their little bit of girl time. I feel a little bit sad but can’t wait to get home. Get ready for all the spam of pics as I have definitely been slack on that part.
