Josh joined HC Group in 2021 and is the Director of European Gas, LNG, Power, & Environmental Products in London.
Josh is responsible for all Gas & LNG mandates across the EMEA region. He partners a range of clients including vertically integrated Gas & LNG producers, international utilities, merchant traders and large industrial consumers.

As LNG continues to play an ever increasingly important role in the energy transition, talent will be at the forefront of its success and I am excited to continue partnering with HC's clients to contribute towards this.
