IGEM Explores: Networking in the Energy Sector

Mark Simon, CEO, The Bruton Group, joined IGEM to share insights into the power of networking.

Networking is a recognised and essential professional skill and executives at all levels can benefit from training and development in this vital and often overlooked area. The Networking Master Class, part of The Bruton Group, have developed a master class programme with leading trainers and learning development professionals. This month, Mark Simon, CEO, The Bruton Group, presented on networking in the Energy Sector.

 

Mark started a computer hardware company in 1990 and developed it to be the largest of its type in the UK before selling it nine years later. In 1999, he founded The Chemistry Club to bring together investors, global technology organisations and internet start-ups at networking events. Over the years the Company evolved and now, as The Bruton Group, runs a series of forums and events which bring together senior executives from across many sectors to develop relationships and drive success for their organisations.

About 12 years ago, he was asked by several event attendees for advice on how to get the best out of networking events. He created a unique  Networking Master Class training programme that covers every aspect of powerful networking. Mark and his team have trained groups large and small from board level and executive management to apprentices all over the world.
