Back in June, thousands of energy traders, suppliers and market participants converged on Messe Essen in Germany for E-world 2022. This edition was marked by beautiful weather and a very busy agenda for the Energy One teams from the UK, France, Belgium and Australia.
Colleagues from all business units came together for the first time under the Energy One umbrella. This was the first opportunity in two and a half years for many in the industry to meet with partners, clients and prospects, leading to a very positive and electrifying atmosphere. The Energy One booth was buzzing with activity from dawn ‘til dusk as the team met with representatives of 150+ companies.
According to the organisers, this year’s attendance was slightly lower than the 2020 edition. Nonetheless the quality of the meetings was exceptional. We closed off Tuesday and Wednesday with a selection of food and beverages for visitors to the stand that represented all nationalities within the group. Australian and French wines, Belgian and German beers, and British tea and chocolates ensured everyone left with a big smile on their faces.
After each busy day, the team took the opportunity to explore some of the culinary offerings in Essen. This gave colleagues from Australia, the UK, France and Belgium a precious chance to catch up in person to digest the day and bond over a meal. These moments are so important in forging lasting ties across the business units.
We came as four companies to the booth, but left as one team, going forward as Energy One!
