The Upper Hunter Mining Dialogue has welcomed leading mining services provider Thiess as a membership partner.

Thiess and its employees are already actively involved with the Dialogue’s projects and events, participating in the School Mine Tours Program and the annual forum.

As a membership partner, Thiess will engage on key community issues and concerns in collaboration with the Dialogue’s other industry, community and government partners.

The Dialogue welcomes Thiess’ expanded involvement – as a major contributor to the Upper Hunter mining industry. Thiess’ input will be invaluable and complement the existing industry representation in the Dialogue’s working groups.

In its expanded role with the Dialogue, Thiess joins existing industry partners including Bengalla Mining Company, BHP, Glencore, MACH Energy, Malabar Coal, Muswellbrook Coal Company, Peabody Energy, the Bloomfield Group and Yancoal.

As part of its support for the Dialogue, Thiess New South Wales Operations Manager Heather Parry will join other mining industry leaders to discuss procurement opportunities for local businesses at a Dialogue and Muswellbrook Chamber of Commerce breakfast on August 13.
