Anton Bray has extensive experience across the downstream oil industry working for Shell for over 34 years. After a decade in the UK with roles in distribution terminals, planning, retail service stations and trading fuel oils, he gained responsibility for the trading of all products in Africa. In the mid 90’s he moved to Dubai as GM International Markets, covering aviation & marine, fuels & lubricants across 27 countries, followed by Global Supply Manager for Shell Aviation based out of London. He returned to the Middle East in 2006 to advise on how to organise and improve value from the exportation of Regulated Products from Qatar, the setting up a new company “Tasweeq” and became the Executive Director of Marketing & Shipping – so a 6 month project turned into a decade of challenging and most enjoyable work! Anton studied Chemistry and conducted research into corrosion at the University of Oxford, plus business and leadership programs at IMD. He now mentors entrepreneurs, aids start-ups, runs his own consultancy company and started instructing with IHRDC in early 2017.
