We are an oil company with a difference. We have a track record of consistent product innovation and have redefined thinking in the British fuels market by identifying and developing new markets for products with clear environmental benefits.
What has distinguished us from our competitors is our ability to change perceptions and create movement in new environmental markets. We have been quick to identify the issues involved in developing a “green fuels market” and to address those issues head on through a mixture of passion and economic pragmatism – producing sustainable solutions that work for businesses and for consumers.
In so doing we have grown from bedroom start-up in 1992 to the UK’s largest and fastest growing independent oil company, now selling 4 billion litres of fuel a year and with a 10% share of the UK’s road fuels market.
