We would like to thank you for your key involvement in the SiO2018 event this week and for your insightful, and at times, uncomfortable talk, for both Silica and all our clients and guests. Your contribution was both inspiring and enlightening and will no doubt create some exponential thinking and (hopefully) actions in the savings and investment world. The feedback we have received is that your talk was one of the best on the day, and that the audience really enjoyed listening to your views and observations.
