Energy recruiter Spencer Ogden has launched an energy trading and finance division.

The new service will cater for a range of services from commodity traders and financial analysts through to power generation and distribution.

The energy finance and trading team will be based at the recruiters’ London office and will be headed by energy and commodities specialist, Dave Vinton.

Vinton, was previously at Huxley Associates, where he helped build the energy recruitment division from scratch to turn over £1m in 18 months.
