Brendan Jones

After graduating from university with degrees in meteorology and geohazard assessment, I became an operational forecaster with MeteoGroup in London. From here, I ventured to the Met Office in Exeter where I fulfilled a similar role for a short time, before returning to MeteoGroup where I remained for several years as senior forecaster. My current position at MetDesk includes forecasting for a broad spectrum. Sectors include the media, transport and road authorities and also short and medium range forecasting for energy trading and commodities businesses. I am also responsible for producing and presenting training courses to clients, particularly those in the road and transport sector. My position as forecast manager requires management of MetDesk's growing forecaster team, including shift and task allocation. Out of work, I'm also a keen storm chaser and have travelled to the USA on numerous occasions to find the worst weather possible!
