Allan Stobart: Supporting the Great North Air Ambulance
On Saturday 14th June 2025, the Allan Stobart team successfully completed a 10-mile walk around Derwentwater in support of the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS).
GNAAS rescues hundreds of people every year throughout the North East, North Yorkshire and Cumbria. Responding to 1,640 call outs last year alone, their doctor-led critical care teams deliver life-saving treatments at the scene of the incident whether that is on a fell top, a roadside or in a city centre.
On the day, the weather was a challenge in itself, causing flooding on parts of the route around Derwentwater, but the Allan Stobart team were undeterred – finishing the walk and raising a fabulous total of more than £1,500 for GNAAS!
And Steve Hindmarsh, General Manager couldn’t be prouder: “We chose GNAAS as our charity due to the fantastic work they do daily. They are completely funded by donations, so need all the support they can get. The weather was a challenge – the last thing we expected was thunder, lightning, and torrential rain.
“The commitment of the team, not only in raising funds, but ensuring that the walk still took place was a testament to their dedication to the cause, which I couldn’t be more proud of.”
The whole team took part, even office dog Toby and his canine friends Bilbo, Scott and Maggie got into the fundraising spirit by wearing their Canine Care Team bandanas and completing the walk alongside their two-legged friends.

Moorland Fuels: Happy 50th Birthday to Mark!
Moorland Fuels, the Devon-based fuel distributor, is celebrating a very special birthday for Mark Bailey, Transport Manager.
Abby Turner, Sales and Marketing Director, said: “Moorland Fuels would like to wish our wonderful Transport Manager, Mark, a very happy 50th birthday!
“Mark always keeps things accurate in our transport processes, which is why we felt it was only fair to officially set the record straight – he is indeed 50! We can’t let him get away with saying he’s “49+” forever!
“To celebrate this milestone, we decided that some black 50th balloons, a gift card and a birthday cake would serve as a reminder of his fabulous new decade. And just to make sure he zooms around the yard with style, we’ve also provided him with a zippy Zimmer frame – who knew turning 50 could be this fun?
“Here’s to Mark – our favourite “young-at-heart” Transport Manager!”
A very happy birthday to Mark from all of us at Fuel Oil News.
