    5 Days in the UK – Reveals the Strong Need for: Collaboration, Creativity and Competence

    Your Guide to Meeting Key Players in the UK

    Spearheaded by Stacie Lara, the Investment Officer for UK Trade & Investment Canada The OGM and Oil Week Magazine were selected to travel from Canada to the UK to write about the opportunities between the two regions.

    Five days in the UK began a crisp November day and an early Monday morning meet in the lobby of the posh Grovesnor Hotel in central London. The Grovesnor is a stones throw away from Buckingham Palace and is centrally located which was convenient for the 16 meetings and energy summit that we had ahead of us in the week coming.

    Accompanied by my industry editorial counterpart Dale Lunan of OilWeek, and Stacie Lara, we embarked on an assertive mission to achieve a strong overview of the UK oil and gas climate. What follows is a synopsis of our meetings with the people, companies and organizations we met. The intention is to provide you with a greater understanding of the opportunities between Canada and the UK and the ability for you to reach out to most appropriate contacts that will support you in succeeding in your international business growth.

    Tina Olivero

    30 years ago, Tina Olivero looked into the future and saw an opportunity to make a difference for her province and people. That difference came in the form of the oil and gas sector. Six years before there was even a drop of oil brought to the shores of Newfoundland, she founded The Oil and Gas Magazine (THE OGM) from a back room in her home on Signal Hill Road, in St. John’s, Newfoundland. A single mother, no financing, no previous journalism or oil and gas experience, she forged ahead, with a creative vision and one heck of a heaping dose of sheer determination. With her pioneering spirit, Ms. Olivero developed a magazine that would educate, inspire, motivate and entertain oil and gas readers around the world — She prides herself in marketing and promoting our province and resources in unprecedented ways. The OGM is a magazine that focuses on our projects, our people, our opportunities and ultimately becomes the bridge to new energy outcomes and a sustainable new energy world. Now diversifying into the communications realms, a natural progression from the Magazine, The OGM now offers an entirely new division - Oil & Gas Media. Today, The Oil and Gas Magazine is a global phenomenon that operates not only in Newfoundland, but also in Calgary and is read by oil and gas enthusiasts in Norway, Aberdeen, across the US and as far reaching as Abu Dhabi, in the Middle East. Believing that Energy is everyone’s business, Ms. Olivero has combined energy + culture to embrace the worlds commitment to a balance of work and home life as well as fostering a foundation for health and well being. In this era of growth and development business and lifestyle are an eloquent mix, there is no beginning or end. Partnering with over 90 oil and gas exhibitions and conferences around the world, Ms. Olivero's role as a Global Visionary is to embrace communication in a way that fosters oil and gas business and industry growth in new and creative ways.
