Welcome. I'm Warren Pink from the Singapore Mining Club. For those that don't know
we're an industry body representing mining and resources for the Asian region
I'll have our links on how to join up the club, the best value membership in Singapore um On when I post this particular interview
Um So this series has been put together to highlight some of the outstanding people and organizations that are supporting the Singapore Mining Club and
today and what we're doing is we're doing this through what we call for a bit of fun speed dating with the Singapore Mining Club
So it'll be a three minute Q and A and today I've got someone who has been in the mining club for a while now
and very kindly behind the scenes is doing a fair bit to help support the club and help lift our profile on linkedin on other
areas. A bit of a rallying voice for the club. So I have Spencer Campbell from S E Asia
How are you Spencer? I'm very well indeed, this morning. Thanks for having me
I
appreciate the time you've given me this morning. Yeah, my pleasure. So, so how this works as I shared with
You already know, it's a three minute Q and A and what I will do is I'm going to put the timer on and
we're going to give it a run
and timing now. So, Spencer, what's your company
So, the company's Singapore based, it's called S E Asia Consulting. And we provide consulting services to the precious metals industry
Excellent. And what do you do there? I'm actually the director of the company
but I end up doing pretty much all the business development for the consultants that work within the company
Fantastic. So, and how long have you been with the Asia for we formed the company nine years ago now
So we're coming up to our 10th year. So it's been, it's been a good run so far okay with the Asia or even preceding
that. What is your greatest achievement at work
Well, I would say in respect to the company, obviously, that's the topic of today is that just something recently happened where we did a
private placement deal in the Philippines, which was about $15.8 billion. So it's been a big achievement for the company and you know
hats off to everybody was involved. Excellent. So what problem does SE Asia solve or what makes you guys unique
I think for the most part, you know, we are a global group in that we can pour resources from around the world at the
drop of a hat, whereas a lot of companies have a lot of red tape to get through
And, you know, for us it's pretty much the flick over what's happened and we've got people on tap with
with information and feedback on, on the industry needs and problems that need solving
Fantastic. So, and what are your plans for the next 6 to 12 months
I think expansion is probably the biggest part, you know, COVID hasn't really slowed us down
Um We've got people on the ground now in Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines and even with the U K
but we're having a bit more of a focus on North and South America of late where the interesting is to be coming from
Okay. Excellent. Now, here comes the tricky part, personal questions. So about you
What are your hobbies? Well, it's one thing I wish I could say that I had
I've tried, I've tried an array of things, but for the most time, it's really just spending time with family and friends and a social
capacity. So I don't really have anything of a hobby per se
Excellent. What is something that none of your colleagues know about you
It's a long dated story and doesn't get out into the market that often
But I started my career Age 16, having got a job break dancing for my next door neighbors
or for the next event. Okay. So, what are you good at
I would personally put down networking. Um you know, with linkedin today
it's a great means of communicating with people and I've got close to 10,000 connections there to facilitate
And one of the groups that I've been bringing the Singapore mining club into is at metals and mining that I run administration for
with over 50,000 members. Wow, that's fantastic. So, what would your partner or spouse say is your best attribute
Well, it definitely isn't, looks, I've got the face for radio and so she would say sense of humor
most likely. Fantastic. And what would your colleagues say about you behind your back
Probably anything at all it would be. Does he ever sleep? Okay
Excellent. And what would they say about you to your face? Well
definitely to my face. Does he ever stop talking? Stop talking? Excellent
So look that ends the interview, Spencer and just a little over time
So that was really quite good for a guy who loves to chat 3.5 minutes
Um So thank you very much. Now, we will post a link for S E Asia on our website along with the interview here today
And thank you so much for your time. Spenser, squeezing us into your busy schedule and good luck
Good luck coming out the other end of COVID
Thanks very much
