Norfolk Chamber Strategic Partner LV Shipping was invited by the EIC (Energy Industries Council) to take part in an exclusive Round Table webinar discussion with Graham Stuart MP (Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Exports for the Department for International Trade). The event took place on the morning of 8th July and comprised representation from a pre-selected 12 EIC member businesses in a discussion with UK government to assist the Minister and other high level Department of International Trade representatives in understanding the energy industry better and, in particular, the challenges and opportunities that British suppliers to local and global energy sectors are facing. The event enabled the chosen EIC members to put forward their views on the industry’s most pressing needs, highlight the work they are doing to survive and thrive in the current tough market, and find out about government thinking and directly influence its strategies on diverse topics including COVID-19 recovery, international trade, Brexit, energy transition and energy policy. The full diversity of the UK energy industry was represented covering different sectors (oil & gas, nuclear, renewable), types (EPCs, OEMs, SMEs) and strategies (exporters, technology developers, cost leaders etc) . LV Shipping, with global offices in energy hubs such as Aberdeen, Great Yarmouth, Houston, Rio, Baku and Singapore, was represented by their UK Sales Director, Kevin Walsh, who spoke up for the Logistics sector in what proved to be an enlightening event with the opportunity to promote the LV name amongst some major players in the energy industry and government.”
