Suitability for the current role
Finance and commercial role followed by company-secretary responsibilities
2020–2026 · analyst inference · medium materiality
Carnaby disclosed in May 2023 that Bowler had been Accountant and Commercial Manager since 2020 and appointed him Joint Company Secretary effective immediately; its FY2023 report records 8 May 2023 and FY2026 report lists him as company secretary. The available profile identifies Curtin University attendance but does not substantiate a degree or qualification.
Attribution: Individual involvement documented. The appointment announcement directly establishes corporate roles and ASX communications responsibilities; detailed finance credentials and prior career remain unverified.
Relevance: The company-secretarial role fits his disclosed accounting/commercial position, but evidence of formal governance credentials and outcomes is thin.
