There was great excitement in the ICIS pricing editorial office in London this afternoon as Fiona Bond was whisked away to the Al Jazeera studio to give her views on the biofuels market.
In fact, Monday was an epic day for ICIS in the media. Not only was Fiona interviewed on Al Jazeera TV’s “News Hour”, at 7.30 pm UK time, but ICIS Heren’s Louise Boddy was also on BBC Radio 4’s “PM” top evening news programme at 5.35 pm, and ICIS Chemical Insight editor Nigel Davis was interviewed for the 7 pm news bulletin on the BBC World Service.
Louise was interviewed on the implications of the closure of the Forties Pipeline, due to the Grangemouth dispute.
Click here for Louise’s interview on PM via BBC’s “Listen Again” (select Monday’s programme and fast forward to 34 mins 52 secs into the show).
Nigel reports back that his interview was left on the cutting room floor and not used in the bulletin after all.

It is great to see the ICIS name out there in mainstream media showcasing the wealth of knowledge it has within it (it makes us look very creditable don’t you think).
Many other RBI markets already appear on many shows/radio stations and are seen as true experts in their industries, so it is nice to finally see ICIS making its mark. Well done to all involved.
Maybe we should make Fiona or Nigel the face of ICIS, anyone else agree?
