CEO, Benchmark

🇬🇧 An honour to be invited to King Charles III’s reception at Windsor Castle as part of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence winning the The King's Awards for Enterprise What we do is different… —- ⏰ 2014: Ten years ago, when we started Benchmark we set out on our mission to create the most robust and transparent price mechanism for lithium and critical minerals that feed the batteries and EVs. 🌎 2015: We created the Benchmark World Tour to take our company to the world and find customers in a niche industry called lithium ion batteries ⛓️💥 2018: As the business grew in momentum, we would continue to build our the Benchmark blueprint with the world’s most detailed forecast data sets on critical minerals that feed into batteries 🏛️ 2020: Momentum would continue and Covid sent the industry spinning into the world of policy and politics of which we were / are at the centre of We have built so much more than just a business that sells subscriptions and have done so from scratch with no prior investment. We are the first commodity publisher to scale in a generation. Our ethos has always been to work hard and enjoy the moments along the way. Small steps create moments, moments can build into something really very special. 👑 2024: But I never thought one of those moments would be the chance to meet The King… From nothing to everything, we have come so far. I can’t even begin to imagine what my grandparents would think if they were still here today. Naturally, I had to tell King Charles I couldn’t stay for the dinner as I was pre-booked with my mum who was waiting by the gates of the castle… 🇬🇧💪🚀
