Synopsis

The highly successful offshore oil and gas industry is one of this country's best kept secrets. Malcolm Webb will ask how this came about, whether it is a matter of concern and what might be done to change the situation.

Speaker

Malcolm Webb is the Chief Executive of Oil & Gas UK. A graduate of Liverpool University, and a lawyer by profession he has extensive senior management experience in both the upstream and downstream oil industry, gained in the UK and abroad.

Prior to joining Oil & Gas UK (then called UKOOA) in February 2004, Malcolm spent three years as Director General of the UK Petroleum Industry Association (UKPIA), representing the UK oil refining and marketing sector. Since joining Oil & Gas UK he has led the organisation through two major change programmes to enable it to become the leading trade association for the UK offshore oil and gas industry.
