John Towner brings experience in the resources industry combined with knowledge of public company capital raising and finance. Renowned for taking oil and gas industry assets from start to public listing, his level of expertise is exemplified by the success of companies such as Sydney Gas Ltd and Sunshine Gas Limited, both successfully listed on ASX. Through his private company he acquired all the oil and gas assets of Amoco Australia, a wholly owned subsidiary of Amoco Inc. He founded Sydney Gas Ltd on the strength of this, the first company to produce and sell gas in New South Wales from coal seams. He was also instrumental in the restructure of Anzon Investments to Anzon Energy Limited, a company that is now carrying out oil exploration and production in South-East Asia. He was also involved in taking BioMD Limited, a safety injection needle development company, from a private research and development entity to public listing in March 2004.
