Contributions and company outcomes

DRA Global reported new contract awards and higher revenue during Bickley's tenure

FY24; Bickley tenure 13 March 2023 to 5 April 2024 · issuer reported · low materiality

DRA's FY24 annual report reports $523 million of new contract awards and extensions during the year and revenue of $902.9 million versus $885.2 million in FY23; it also says revenue outlook softened toward year end. Bickley served as DRA Company Secretary from 13 March 2023 to 5 April 2024. These are company outcomes, not personal results attributable to the Company Secretary.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. The report links Bickley to the company-secretary position; it does not link him to operational or financial outcomes.

Relevance: Limited context for the scale and operating environment of a prior listed-company governance role.

Governance and interests

Bickley became an interim non-independent director at a concurrent issuer

18 October 2026 to Botanix's scheduled 30 November 2026 AGM · issuer reported · medium materiality

Botanix says Bickley remained Company Secretary and became an interim Non-Executive Director on 18 October 2026 after two directors resigned. Botanix expressly says he would not be classified as independent because of his existing officer role; the interim appointment was intended to fill a casual vacancy while it searched for independent replacements. This was the board's succession decision, not a finding of misconduct by Bickley.

Attribution: Individual involvement documented. The appointment is documented; the company states the role is not independent because of his existing officer position.

Relevance: A concurrent listed-company board role and independence status are relevant to governance workload and potential conflicts; no specific conflict was identified in the report.

Suitability for the current role

Company-secretarial and cross-jurisdiction listing experience fits the G6M role

Prior career through cutoff · analyst inference · medium materiality

G6M and Botanix report more than 15 years of company-secretarial work, prior ASX and JSE listing-compliance responsibilities, and management of 40-120 group subsidiaries across DRA and Fortescue. DRA records Bickley's exact 2023-2024 company-secretary dates. The underlying job assignments and personal compliance outcomes are not independently detailed.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. Role-fit assessment from disclosed experience; it does not infer outcomes or fault.

Relevance: Directly relevant to ASX disclosures, board processes and the company's remediation of its listing-rule control lapse.

Evidence gaps

  • No independent verification of the University of Essex degree or professional memberships was located.

  • Exact Fortescue tenure and the allocation of the 40-120 subsidiary-management claim between Fortescue and DRA are not disclosed.

  • Botanix's interim directorship is non-independent due to his company-secretary role and was scheduled to run only to the November 2026 AGM; the later board election outcome is outside this cutoff.
