Following on from my previous post, it seems to me that there is precious little space given in our industry for keeping up with who is who and who is not. New hires, retirements, transfers, promotions - sometimes it’s easy to miss the news that so-and-so has just left to join the opposition or that this or that person has just been promoted or booted.

If you have some news about people coming and going, please feel free to drop me an email. I will not name my sources, but of course I will also not publish anything about people going down the ladder unless it’s verified.

Here’s an easy one that most people in the carbon industry already know. Phil Higgins of P66/Conoco Phillips fame is retiring. I have only known Phil since 2008, which is a relatively short time given his years of experience. Best wishes for a long and healthy retirement Phil.

I know of two other people who have left or are about to leave, but I don’t have verification on one of them and I don’t have permission from the other to reveal that he is retiring.

But if you have any news, tips, leads or press releases you want to share with the industry (I can humbly say this blog is widely read throughout the industry), please feel free to email me.
