In 2000 he was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Innogy plc, the public company comprising National Power’s UK business. He transformed the company from a generator to an integrated energy business and the acquisition by [[RWE]] of [[Innogy]] plc in 2003 delivered a substantial return to shareholders.

Brian became Chief Executive of RWE Trading, based in Essen, Germany where he remained until he retired from RWE in 2005. In this role he grew the European energy trading business to become a commercial hub of the RWE group.

He is currently a non-executive director of [[Eskom]], the South African electricity company; Chairman of Progressive Energy, a company that is working with [[Centrica]] to develop a clean coal fired power station in the UK; and is also a member of the UK Industrial Development Advisory Board of the DTI. He has extensive experience of international energy utilities and has been involved with governments and regulatory matters in both the UK and Europe.
