The Significance of Brunel Oil and Gas Recruitment Summit
Historical Context of Brunel in Houston
Houston is a global hub for conventional energy activities. Its position along the Gulf Coast, industrial real estate to oil and gas giants, and favorability for a variety of energy sources makes for a city that breathes innovation. Over 20 years ago, Brunel's workforce solutions and recruitment services saw the potential for the Texas city to house their regional headquarters, and in 1996, the Houston office opened its doors.
Since then, our stake among oil and gas recruitment companies has shown significant growth & our partnerships have strengthened. This evolution has reverberated across the globe with our global offices manifesting trends of success in the industry. To stage a meeting-of-the minds for our top conventional energy players, our executives designated the Americas headquarters as home for Brunel's Conventional Energy Summit 2024.
