He said: “This event is sure to generate much debate and I am looking forward to addressing some of the current challenges, in the company of young professionals from across all disciplines in the energy industry.
“It is vital that the industry continues to collaborate as we actively seek to reduce costs and remain competitive; and so sharing our experiences and best practice is more important now than ever.”
