The Buying I&C gas is run jointly by the Energy Training Network and Energy Links Consultancy , represented by lecturers Nick White and Rowland Sheard. Rowland has many years experience, initially in marketing gas to industrial customers, more recently in assisting customers in buying gas, both for power generation and industrial use. Nick is an expert on the UK gas market structure. Together the course paints a picture of the complex issues surrounding the UK gas market today, and helps participants to understand the opportunities to out there for better gas purchasing. In the context of the current gas price enquiry and ongoing market concerns, the course is very timely.  

On the 3rd March ETN is running this course in association with the Chemical Industries Association at their building in Smith Square , London . Reduced fees are available for CIA members, but non-members are also very welcome. This one-day course will equip buyers, negotiators, users and those representing the customer, with an up-to-date understanding of today’s gas market to help optimise their strategy. From the broader perspectives of contract structures and the future of gas purchasing to the specifics of understanding the effect of the spot market and tendering and supplier selection, the course will complement the understanding of those already working within the arena and provide an excellent foundation for those needing a full understanding of gas purchasing for commercial and industrial customers, small and large.
