Fuel Oil News (UK)

Fuel Oil News magazine made its debut in 1977, created by James Smith, a fuel distributor from Knutsford. While taking notes during regular credit meetings with fellow distributors, James recognized the importance of addressing shared challenges within the industry. What started as a simple publication of these meeting notes quickly evolved into a key communication platform for the sector. Today, the magazine covers various aspects of the storage, distribution, and marketing of liquid fuels across the UK and Ireland, continuing to play an essential role in the community it supports.
