Glasterra’s New Office – 197 St Georges Terrace, Perth
The Kemerton BESS project will be the accumulation of many small steps over a long period of time, and this week we settled into our new home at 197 St Georges Terrace, marking another milestone on the journey.
The team behind the project is made up of local Western Australians, with businesses stretching from Wangara in the north to Margaret River in the south. The decision to locate our office in the Perth CBD was based on the simple idea that a central location, with the amenities and services we need close by, made sense for everyone involved.
Being close to our project advisers, consultants and contractors also means that, in a world dominated by Teams and Zoom meetings, we can still do things the old-fashioned way and meet face-to-face. We believe these projects are ultimately built by people, and maintaining that human connection is important as we move toward construction.
While we are still fitting out the new space over the coming weeks, we intend to officially open the office in mid-August and look forward to welcoming our partners, stakeholders and friends.
See you on the Terrace.
Rethinking ‘Made in China’ – Lessons from Our Kemerton BESS Supply Chain Visit
Last month, members of the executive and procurement team travelled to China as part of the battery supply workstream for the Kemerton BESS project.
Before the trip, I will admit that I had mixed feelings about attending. Like many business owners, time away from projects, staff and family is never taken lightly. I initially thought the visit may be more ceremonial than practical and questioned whether it was the best use of valuable time.
