Comment:
"Aspermont has been in the midst of change ever since I arrived. The company has weathered the b2b publishing storm and has designed futuristic commercial models that make it a global leader. Owing to Aspermont's positioning, in the industries it serves, it has limitless entrepreneurial and acquisition opportunities. The company also maintains a blue ocean organic growth path, in b2b community building, which it has been pursuing.
Aspermont has built and continues to enhance its technological capability and knowledge capital through the acquisition and development of high calibre talent. The fusion of expertise in new business models, at the operator and board levels, make the next decade an interesting for the company, its stakeholders and its shareholders."

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