Acquisition remains key to our future growth plans, the addition of Boorman Fuels builds on the fact we have successfully acquired and integrated 18 fuel companies into the business in the last 27 years.
NWF Fuels Sales Director, Mark Adcock said; “We are delighted to welcome the team at Geoff Boorman Fuels to the NWF Fuels family. Geoff and Kay have a successfully built the business over the last 30 years and we are pleased they chose NWF Fuels to carry on developing the reputation and growth of the business over the coming years.
We remain focused on acquiring established businesses with a strong local reputation, a great team and a proven track record of delivering exceptional service to customers. Geoff Boorman Fuels more than meets this criteria, and we are excited to welcome them into the NWF Fuels family”.
Mark added. “We wholeheartedly believe in developing our local depot network and expanding our depot based operating model. Our combination of local ownership by the manager and the team, coupled with the support and backing of NWF Fuels ensures our customers get the best of both worlds and is an unrivalled combination. Geoff Boorman Fuels further strengthens our depot network and perfectly complements our established businesses in this region”.
Geoff Boorman said “I was a tanker driver for a local fuel company many years ago, Kay and I decided to start the business 30 years ago when we saw customers were not receiving good, reliable service. We bought a second-hand tanker and started the business and over the years I even built a few tankers! We never expected the business to get to the size we have, but we just found that more and more customers wanted good, reliable service so we kept taking on more customers and more tankers. When we decided to sell the business, we wanted to ensure our staff were looked after and that our good name and reputation was protected. After meeting NWF Fuels we decided they would ensure this could happen, we are delighted the team and business will remain locally and continue to deliver locally”.
Paul , Depot Manager of Geoff Boorman Fuels added; “we are pleased to know the business will continue to serve all our customers locally, but with increased confidence and security in our ability to grow with the support of NWF Fuels. Our customers have not seen any difference in the level of service we are providing and that is really important. We are really pleased and look forward to sharing our knowledge with the team at NWF and also learning more from the experience across the NWF team”.
