It is with great sadness that IGO Limited announces that the Company’s Managing Director & CEO, Peter Bradford, passed away suddenly on Saturday 15 October.
IGO wishes to express its deepest sympathy to Peter’s family and friends. He will be dearly missed.
Peter was an inspirational leader, an innovative and strategic thinker and a compassionate mentor, who transformed IGO into the company that it is today - a globally recognised, ASX100 listed company focused on creating a better planet. His passion for mining and resources, and his personal drive to raise the bar across the industry, was unparalleled.
Peter was passionate about climate change and the role our industry can play in the transition to a clean energy future and was equally passionate in engaging others on these important issues. Peter was adamant that he and the team at IGO could make a difference – locally, nationally, and globally.
In addition to his role at IGO, Peter championed the mining industry in Western Australia. He was the President of AMEC, an active mentor for Women in Mining WA (WIMWA), and a former WA Mining Club committee member and Vice President.
Non-executive Chair, Michael Nossal commented: “On behalf of the Board, I wish to extend our sincerest and heartfelt condolences to Peter’s wife Vicki and his children and everyone who was fortunate enough to know Peter as we did. The news of his death is devastating to everyone at IGO. We greatly admired Peter for not just his vision and commitment to delivering on our purpose but also for his endearing humility and enormous humanity.”
IGO notes that Peter’s family has asked that their privacy be respected at this difficult time.
