Optiro the "surprise" in Mine Consulting Survey
After a mere 18 months since starting business Optiro beat a number of long established companies in the space to be named runner up Best Overall Consultancy in the inaugural HighGrade survey.
surveyed 184 mining, exploration and contract mining companies to gauge views on the technical leadership of mining consultancies. HighGrade noted “... West Perth-based Optiro garnered enough votes to pull off something of an upset second place in the standings: not surprising in the sense that the growing Optiro team is highly regarded by a number of small and large mining/project development companies – one respondent describing them as a team of “highly skilled resource consultants” – but due to the fact that the company has only been around since 2008 and has already lived through a tumultuous market downturn.”
We founded Optiro not long ago with a goal to provide advisory services in a different way. Based on a passion to minimise project risks and optimise project outcomes we have set about working closely with our clients to challenge the status quo of operations. We have lamented how the consulting profession has been seen to not deliver to clients, so much so, debate rages in our business as to whether we even want to be seen as a consultant.
As a group of people that prefers to let our actions speak louder than our words we don’t go seeking accolades but we sure are pleased to be recognised. We thank our clients for their support and promise to keep pushing harder to provide real benefit to them through more innovative thinking.
So from the ‘un-consultant’, a big thanks to all.
