~ Gas Advisory Services Pty Ltd~

One year down - what an adventure!

The year in brief:

I retired from the position of Chief Inspector, Petroleum and Gas with the Queensland Depoartment of Mines and Energy on 1 August 2008 and commenced a consultancy, Gas Advisory Services (note the cunning acronym), on the following Monday.  It was hardly any time before I had my first job, a letter for a legal firm, and this was quickly follwed by other, and much larger, jobs.  

After a month or so, I decided to turn this consultancy into a company and so Gas Advisory Services Pty Ltd burst into life on 1 October 2008.  Since its inception, GAS has worked for 12 clients ranging from the mighty (Rio-Tinto/Bechtel  & LPGA) to the humble including a small LPG distributor and a campervan manufacturer.

Every job has been fascinating and has given me great satisfaction to work with such dedicated and talented people.  It is pleasing to say that I am now receiving repeat business in a number of areas.

In the past year I have disriributed more than 300 business cards, 200 newsletters, 25 GAS hats and 19 GAS yoyos.  I have issued seven type B approvals covering more than 50 gas devices, have undertaken two major risk assessments, completed two full Safety Management Plans, have developed and undertaken training sessions and developed a major project authorisation submission.

My heartfelt thanks to those of you who gave me a chance to improve your business and, for those of you who have yet to do so, something good waits in store.
