Welcome to the Allerium Blog: Insights from the Frontline of Industry

Welcome to the official blog of Allerium Pty Ltd, a Queensland-based consultancy supporting asset-intensive industries through strategic shutdowns, asset management, and operational transformation.

Led by seasoned operations executive John Allery, Allerium brings over 15 years of global experience to the table—having delivered more than 100 major shutdowns and managed significant industrial portfolios. Our mission is simple: help businesses operate smarter, safer, and more efficiently.

This blog will be your go-to source for practical insights, field-tested strategies, and leadership perspectives drawn from real-world experience across mining, energy, infrastructure, and beyond.

We’ll be publishing regular articles covering:

• Shutdown planning and execution

• Asset lifecycle strategy

• Operational risk and safety

• Business transformation and leadership

And for those who like to dig deeper—there’s something exciting on the horizon. Let’s just say a book is in the works that explores the high-stakes world of shutdowns… and whether they’re the ultimate test—or just another day. Stay tuned.

Thanks for joining us. We’re just getting started.
