alan burns starts new company

In todays' West.

Alan Burns and a mate have started up a company to explore for oil and gas close to Fremantle.

So much for his retirement rubbish he told me at the AGM.

He probably did all the groundwork while Hardman shareholders were paying his very generous salary. Perhaps the exploration lincence should be Hardmans? Simon said he was looking for a local venture to offset office expenses etc.

That is Ted , Scott and now Alan that have all left Hardman only to start up in competition.

No wonder sentiment is in the pitts.
