Competition
If there’s one thing technology can help us do is
to be more productive and efficient in the way
we use our time.
Some people swear by Grammarly to help with
writing, Todoist for to-do lists, Duolingo for
learning a new language, or Asana for teamwork.
And we can all attest to the time-saving value of
Zoom or Teams during the Covid pandemic …
and beyond.
Now we’d like to hear which App you find most
useful in your day-to-day life – and how it helps
you. Whether you use it at home to keep track of
children’s activities, at work to ensure no projects
fall through the cracks, or in your personal life to
ensure you meet your fitness or financial goals,
we would like to hear from you.
If it works for you, it may well help someone else.
We’ll publish the Top 5 Apps our readers
mention in the next edition and also reveal the
lucky winner of the A$100 cash prize.

NUCLEAR FUEL CYCLE
CHALLENGE
You’ve read how the shortage of uranium
production and rising prices are creating a
perfect opportunity for emerging uranium
developers to come on board (see page 12).
Now here’s an opportunity for you to win A$100
if you can answer these three questions:
Q1: By how much does the COP agreement
want to increase nuclear energy capacity by
2050?
Q2: How much new nuclear capacity needs to
be built every year for the next 26 years, to
meet this production?
Q3: Who is the largest uranium supplier in the
world?
All correct answers will go into a lucky draw.

Andrea Leech has won A$100 for her suggestion on how
to improve internal communication. She suggested a
Global Coffee Break.
“Because of the time differences between Bannerman’s
various offices across the globe, set a structured time
where everyone takes a break for 10-15 minutes to have a
quick informal chat via Teams,” she says.

BANNERMAN ENERGY | MAY 2024
Main responsibility:
Management of Bannerman Energy to ensure
profitability, growth and development by
cultivating a positive company culture.
How long have been working at
Bannerman Energy:
1 year
What excites you about the Etango
Project:
The simplicity of the design and the good
work done in the past to create a world-class
project that is on the verge of being funded
and built.
One thing that surprised you about your
current role:
The number of LinkedIn requests!
Marital status:
Married to Liz for 32 years.
Children:
3 dogs (2 Bouviers and 1 mini daschund).
Favourite food:
All food, but if I must choose, it would
probably be South East Asian cuisine.
What are you currently reading:
Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek.
Where is your ‘happy place’:
With a camera in the “bush” or underwater, or
travelling anywhere I have not been before.
Last song you listened to:
“Paradys” by Johannes Kerkorrel (a local
Afrikaans singer). For non-Africans this would
translate as “Paradise” sung by Johannes
Churchorgan!
What are you currently binge-watching –
or reading:
Chasing The Sun 2 – the story of South Africa’s
back-to-back World Rugby Cup victory.
Any podcasts to recommend:
My absolute favourite is “Something Rhymes
with Purple”, but a good car trip one would be
“British Scandal” by Wondery.
Best way to relax:
Take my camera to the bush or underwater.
Pet peeve:
The use of “z” in English words in place of “s”.
One thing about yourself that few people
know:
I took speech and drama at school because I
could not play rugby for three years due to an
injury.
Person who inspires you and why:
I draw inspiration from people around me,
so I am always observing how people deal
with issues with a view to learning from them.
If a person shows a skill, creative flair, calm
demeanour, high EQ, great insight or any
attribute that stands out as different, these
are the things that inspire me. I have found
you do not need to search too far in life to
find inspiration, you just need to be open to
receiving it.
One thing on your bucket list:
A photographic trip to the Antarctica.
