WARREN STRANGE

Warren has over forty years’ experience in the drilling and mining sectors of Western Australia, Africa and Europe, and has established and built several successful companies in Australia and Europe. Winner of the Goldfields’ Business and Business Person of the Year in 2005 and recipient of a Federal grant for A$1.2 million to develop and manufacture a new drill rig in Australia, Warren’s Australian drilling company achieved world records for drilling production and safety, drilling more than 3.5 million metres without a lost time injury between 1995 and 2007.

Warren’s WA drilling company was sold in 2007 for A$27 million to fund geothermal drilling technology and business development. The WA drill rig manufacturing business was sold in 2009 for the same purpose of funding further development of geothermal systems. In 2014, Warren established a geothermal energy company in Jersey, UK to service markets in Germany, Scandinavia, UK, Asia, India and the Middle East. The company secured geothermal energy sales contracts with the value of more than €300 million, and with future drilling revenue potential of more than €2 billion. In 2018, the Jersey geothermal group of companies was valued at more than £1.1 billion.
