Otto Simon is delighted to announce that we’re now an Industrial Affiliate of the Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers (IGEM).

IGEM is the professional institution for gas, advocating for excellence across the industry. IGEM publishes technical standards and is a chartered professional body, licensed by the Engineering Council. Working with stakeholders from across the industry, IGEM seeks to represent the views of their members and the wider gas community and to inform and influence current and future gas and energy policy. 


IGEM has an important role to play in the future of the hydrogen economy, they are delivering webinars and conferences on the subject and are also in the process of updating gas industry technical standards to accommodate the changes in fuel supply.


The Hydrogen Knowledge Centre has been established by IGEM as a digital library designed to share essential research for those working and studying in the future energy field.


Otto Simon’s membership with IGEM demonstrates our commitment to the gas industry in the UK and builds on the successful projects that we have already undertaken for Cadent, SGN and NGN, including the high profile HyDeploy and Industrial Fuel Switching projects. It will allow us to share our knowledge with the wider gas community, attend IGEM events, and will ensure we keep up-to-speed with all of the latest technical developments and industry best practices.


We are proud to be affiliated with such a prestigious institution as IGEM and look forward to supporting IGEM members.

Christmas Cheer and a Bittersweet Bon-Voyage!

Well, another year is winding down, and what a year it’s been! Here at Otto Simon, we decided to celebrate all the hard work and dedication of our fantastic team with an evening of festive fun, delicious food, and a touch of wanderlust! A huge, heartfelt thank you goes out to Anna for orchestrating what was a truly splendid Christmas gathering. From the atmospheric lighting to the perfectly planned tapas, Anna, you outdid yourself. Our merry band descended upon Trunk Lounge in Bramhall, and it was fantastic to see such a great turnout, proving that even after a busy year, we still love spending time together! Now, every good story has a new chapter, and for one of our own, that chapter involves packing a very large suitcase! We had the pleasure of raising a glass (or several!) to Chris and his partner Lydia, who are embarking on an incredible year-long adventure, travelling the globe, we are not jealous at all. From all of us at Otto Simon, we wish Chris and Lydia the very best of luck on their incredible journey. We are all sure looking forward to reliving your amazing memories with you upon your return. We would like to end the year with sincere thanks to our Clients, Partners and Staff for all their efforts over the past year and are looking forward to another busy and rewarding year in 2026. Here's to a wonderful Christmas break for everyone, and a prosperous, exciting New Year!

State of the Nation, in true Otto Simon Style!
