Global petrochemicals and energy information provider ICIS has appointed energy publishing expert Neil Fleming to head its editorial operations. Fleming, who will act as Head of Content across all ICIS businesses, is the former editorial vice-president of oil, gas, power and metals information business Platts - a role which he held from 1997 to 2002, when he resigned to launch a second career managing a theatre production company.
More recently, Fleming has developed a reputation as an independent energy data and publishing strategy consultant for clients including African downstream consulting specialists CITAC LLP; the Norwegian energy ministry; Espresso Education Ltd and ICIS itself. His first contribution to ICIS' business has been the launch of LNG Markets Daily, a definitive overview of the rapidly developing global liquefied natural gas market, featuring proprietary pricing models developed by Fleming and experts at ICIS Heren.
ICIS, part of the Reed Business Information group, is a leading provider of market pricing, analysis and news to the petrochemicals, fertilizer and specialty chemicals industries. Through its ICIS Heren division it is also a provider of choice for much of the natural gas and electricity trading sector in Europe, and across the global liquefied natural gas markets.
