What can delegates look forward to in your courses?
Fun and thought. Gasoline and diesel fuel are the biggest selling volume products in the downstream. They are the ultimate commodities, and if you want to sell profitably, you need to understand that they are high tech products. The products are "technical" but we try to present scientific knowledge in a way that non-scientists can understand. Delegates should be prepared to be bombarded with knowledge - learn from the mistakes that we made.
How do you like to present your subject matter?
Relaxed and with no script. We get depressed if we don't get audience interaction.
What are your career/professional highlights?
As a sales engineer, getting a major motor manufacture to pay his account on time! Being involved in fuel and additive market development programmes with Shell. Resolving a major fuel quality issue in the Far East. Being involved in the European Auto/Oil programme - probably the largest cooperative project between the oil and auto industries ever conducted. Working with The Oxford Princeton Programme and all the great people I have met in the oil, additive and motor industries. Revising the SAE's "Automotive Fuels Handbook
What are some of the greatest challenges facing the energy sector?
Alternative energy supplies, either fossil or alternative sourced. The dilemma at present is the incessant demand for biofuels, without understanding the potential implications of the land for "food or fuels" debate, the impact on agriculture (particularly in the developing world) and uninformed opinion. It's all happening very quickly and more traditional thinkers in the energy industry could get left behind.
How do you like to spend your free time?
