“We have always had a very high level of repeat business, and the entry of new owners into Australia has made us better known internationally.”

A recent addition to the company’s Brisbane-based team is Hugh Morrison as principal mining engineer. He joins AMC’s key coal consultants, Neil Turvey – principal mining engineer, Dr Terry Medhurst – senior geotechnical consultant, Glenn Everett – senior mining engineer.

Morrison comes with wide experience spanning over 25 years in roles including mine manager, mining contractor, consultant, mining engineer, drill/blast, dragline and pre-strip engineer and supervisor, and contract estimator.
