Havel Trading

Havel Trading is launching a progressive, data science-enabled energy merchant designed for durability and agility in today’s rapidly evolving markets.
Our core belief is simple: the best opportunities will be captured by firms that seamlessly combine traditional physical merchant risk management with modern data, automation, and rapid execution.

“The best opportunities in energy will increasingly go to those who master both traditional physical trading and modern data, automation, and rapid execution. As a new entrant, we have the unique advantage of designing our platform correctly from day one, without legacy constraints. We are committed to building a disciplined, analytically rigorous merchant that delivers sustainable value across LNG, natural gas, power, and cross-commodity markets.”

Gareth founded Havel Trading to build the kind of energy merchant he had always wanted to lead, one that pairs deep physical expertise with the speed and discipline of a modern data-driven firm. He brings two decades of experience across LNG, gas, power and risk leadership at global trading houses.
