Latest news in the UK oil distribution sector
The UK fuel distribution sector continues to experience significant consolidation:
- NWF Group plc has acquired Northern Energy Oil Ltd, a 42-million-litre distributor operating across North Yorkshire, Northumbria, and Lincolnshire. This £8.3 million acquisition includes Kettlewell Fuels, an independent distributor based near Ripon.
- Standard Fuel Oils Ltd, based in Liverpool, expanded its reach in Northern England by acquiring Solo Petroleum Ltd, a family-run distributor in Pontefract, West Yorkshire.
Yorkshire Oils remains local and independent
In a time when many fuel distributors are merging into national chains, Yorkshire Oils stands proudly as one of the last remaining independent, family-run oil distribution businesses in the region. For over 40 years, we’ve been delivering reliable, personal service to homes, farms, and businesses across North and West Yorkshire.
While others are growing bigger, we’re staying true to our roots, locally owned, locally operated, and focused on you. We know the communities we serve because we live here too. That means when you ring us, you speak to someone who understands your needs, not a call centre miles away.
At Yorkshire Oils, we’re more than just fuel—we’re part of your community. Whether it’s a top-up for the tank, emergency deliveries in a cold snap, or simply some friendly advice, we’re here for you.
