Chaired by Pinsent Masons’ Global Head of Oil & Gas Bob Ruddiman, the lunchtime session will provide a platform for international networking, knowledge sharing and discussion. Heading up an impressive line-up of live speakers and remote contributors will be the Government of Western Australia’s European representative, Mike Deeks. He will be joined by:

Managed by Business Plus Scotland, the Aberdeen-Perth, WA Gateway will build on the success of the now well-established Gateway series by offering an international bridge between two leading energy hubs. It will also act as a springboard to further strengthen the links between the locations as well as facilitating additional opportunities between participating businesses and delegates.

Commenting on plans for the third Aberdeen-Perth, WA Gateway event creator and Granite PR founder/managing director Brett Jackson said: “We are once again delighted at the warm reception this event has received from delegates and supporters both here in Scotland and in Australia.
