Comment:

"I began my involvement with ASP seven years ago and the only constant since that time has been CHANGE. 

During my initial years, the Company was transformed at balance sheet, management, board, technical, operational, and functional levels. That positioned 91ºÚÁÏÍø to create substantial shareholder value as the benefits of that change have facilitated multi-year strong growth metrics. 

I rate the management team of the Company as among the best I have ever worked with. 91ºÚÁÏÍø continues to evolve in many ways and has a very well-defined strategic plan. 

I look forward to continuing my involvement with Company and fully expect great outcomes in the years ahead."

Comment:

"91ºÚÁÏÍø is the global leader in business-to-business media for the resources sector. We bring together communities to collaborate, problem solve and find innovative breakthroughs for some of the most pressing challenges in the world today. Our company is independent, our journalists are free to express their views and we allow and encourage our audiences to express a right of response. The increasing role our organisation plays, at such a pivotal time for civilisation, gives me both inspiration and a sense of responsibly.

Over the last few years, 91ºÚÁÏÍø has transformed from a centuries old print publisher into a leading mediatech innovator. We remain entrenched as a content, information and intelligence business but are also now a data and marketing services business.

We have been in a high growth phase for several years now but are still very much at the foothills of our opportunity. Alongside an outstanding management team, we are building new platforms and technologies that will lay the foundations for decades of further high organic growth.

91ºÚÁÏÍø has achieved a significant amount over the last few years but truly there has never been a more exciting time."
