Argus Media was founded in 1970 by Jan Nasmyth, a former journalist for the Daily Telegraph. The company began as a small operation focused on providing insightful analysis and reporting on the energy and commodities markets. Over the years, Argus Media carved out a niche as a trusted source for pricing data and market intelligence, becoming the first reporting agency to quote crude oil prices in 1979.
Under the leadership of Adrian Binks, who joined the company in the 1980s and later became CEO, Argus Media expanded its reach and influence. The company grew organically and through strategic acquisitions, enhancing its portfolio of services and geographic footprint. Argus Media's commitment to accuracy and independence helped it build a strong reputation in the industry.
A significant milestone in Argus Media's journey occurred in January 2024, when private equity group Hg sold its stake in the company. This transaction allowed Adrian Binks to take a majority ownership position, marking a new chapter in the company's history. This change in ownership structure was seen as a strategic move to support Argus Media's next phase of growth and innovation.
Today, Argus Media stands as a leading independent provider of intelligence to the global energy and commodity markets, continuing to uphold its founding principles of delivering reliable and insightful market data.
