I was instrumental in persuading him to join BHP Billiton, and he has served that company well over the years. He brings together a unique blend of mineral processing operating experience and capital projects execution. He has consistently shown the ability to leverage these skills with his people skills, to add additional value to projects wherever he has been involved."

"Rich's successful early career as an engineer and then as a mill manager in multiple remote operations around the globe made him an ideal project manager for the large mine process plant projects undertaken by Aker Kvaerner. Rich successfully delivered all the client projects that he managed during my time at Kvaerner; the projects came in on time and in budget, allowing Kvaerner to reap maximum client bonuses. The breadth of Rich's early operations career followed by his successful projects career at Kvaerner and BHP Billiton make him an ideal person for process plant projects advice / reviews etc."
