I, Jay Hambro am CEO of Verdigris Strategic Limited and along with my wider team have operated extensively in the aluminium sector both organically and through M&A. I was largely responsible for the creation of ALVANCE, the low carbon aluminium champion for Europe. This included ALVANCE British Aluminium in Fort William (the last remaining aluminium smelter in the UK), ALVANCE Aluminium Dunkerque in France (the largest Aluminium smelter in Europe) and ALVANCE Aluminium Duffel in Belgium (a significant downstream Aluminium rolling business servicing the automotive and industrial sector).

Verdigris Strategic is delighted to both join and support the good work of the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI). Verdigris Strategic has a range of touchpoints in the global aluminium industry as a strategic advisor and investor. We believe ASI plays a vital role in ensuring the importance of aluminium as an infinitely recyclable metal and is promoted alongside the standards of operations required in today's world.
