APPOINTMENT OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Suvo Strategic Minerals Limited (ASX: SUV) (“Suvo” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Trinder as Non-Executive Director of the Company. Non-Executive Director Oliver Barnes has resigned from the Board of Directors.
Peter commenced his career in construction in 1978 and has worked in a variety of positions including concrete batch plant manager, site engineer, specialist materials consultant and concrete repair contractor.
In the 1980’s he established the Sydney office of the materials technology consultancy group Taywood Engineering Limited who specialised in providing concrete technology advice to asset owners and designers and after a period working with a number of concrete repair contractors in Sydney and Melbourne, Peter rejoined Taywood Engineering in their Perth Office. Peter was appointed the Company’s Australian manager in 1999. In 2001 GHD Pty Ltd took over the operations of Taywood Engineering and Peter became their national Concrete Technology Manager.
In 2006 Peter joined ANCON Beton Pty Ltd as a concrete technology consultant focusing on assessment of the long term performance of concrete structures and the design for durability. During his time with ANCON Beton, Peter provided technical support to projects throughout Australia, New Zealand Asia and the Middle East.
In addition to his work as a specialist consultant Peter has held senior management positions at a number of concrete repair contractors in Sydney, Melbourne and
Western Australia including a period as the Business Manager for the Concrete repair division at Monadelphous Engineering in Western Australia.
In 2013 Peter joined BG&E Pty Ltd in their Perth office. During his time at BG&E he led the Western Australian materials group with its primary focus being the provision of technical support in the design and construction of major infrastructure and mining operations within Western Australia. This included the preparation of Durability Plans on major transport infrastructure projects throughout the state.
More recently, Peter consults as an independent advisor on issues related to improving the quality of construction in major infrastructure projects.
The appointment of Peter Trinder reflects the Company’s diversification from a kaolin operator and supplier, to, a Company that is also developing a green concrete commercialisation strategy. Peter has lived and breathed concrete for most of his life, and his appointment follows the recently announced 50/50 Joint Venture agreement between Suvo and PERMAcast (ASX Announcement 24 October 2024).
Executive Chairman Aaron Banks commented:
“We welcome Peter to the team. For decades Peter has worked as a concrete technology consultant providing technical support to projects throughout Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the Middle East.
Peter is well known to major government authorities in Australia and is a welcomed addition to the Board as we advance commercialisation activities of our low carbon concrete products following the newly incorporated Joint Venture with PERMAcast. We intend to utilise Peters expertise in concrete performance and durability and transpose this to our low carbon product development activities whilst also utilizing his relationships with government authorities to develop relationships with potential buyers in the market.
On Behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Oliver for the exceptional support he has provided to the Board and management team since joining the Company in early 2022.
We thank Oliver for his contribution and guidance and wish him all the best.”
Approved for release by the Board
