Rix Petroleum East Anglia supports The Great Ellingham Teddy Bear Festival
Demonstrating its ongoing commitment to supporting local communities, Rix Petroleum East Anglia once again took part in the much-loved Great Ellingham Teddy Bear Festival this summer.
It is a tradition that brings the village to life each year with hundreds of creative displays and a strong sense of community spirit.
Among the familiar sights was ‘Tanker Ted,’ Rix’s teddy bear-themed mini tanker. Now in its third year at the festival, Tanker Ted has become a much-anticipated attraction, offering families and children a fun photo opportunity and representing Rix’s growing relationship with the community.
Rix Petroleum East Anglia maintains a heating oil syndicate in Great Ellingham, reaching out to residents each quarter to offer competitive group rates. This approach not only provides customers with greater value but also significantly reduces the number of deliveries through the village, lessening environmental impact and vehicle congestion.
The syndicate also contributes directly to community development. Each year, a rebate from the syndicate is paid directly to the parish council. In 2023, this rebate funded the installation of new “Welcome to the Village” signs at key entrances to Great Ellingham.
The Teddy Bear Festival itself serves as a key fundraising initiative for local charities and causes, underscoring the village’s strong community spirit.

New Era Energy: Summertime fun
New Era Energy, the Essex-based fuel distributor, had a fantastic time at their annual summer party.
Melissa Lancaster, Brand Manager, said: “The New Era Energy team had a wonderful time celebrating at our summer party at Host in Bishop’s Stortford.
“It was all about connection; catching up with people we don’t see every day, laughing loudly, sharing stories and reminding ourselves that work isn’t just about what we do, it’s about who we do it with.
“We danced. A lot! (Some of us better than others!) The DJ played, the drinks flowed and the room felt light.
“I would like to say a big thank you to Kerry Smith who organised the party and to Lilly Brown for photographing the night – the smiles, the dancing and the moments in between.”

Carl Bingham, Head of Relationships at BoilerJuice, said: “Thank you to everyone who joined us for our third annual BoilerJuice Charity Golf Day. We were delighted to welcome 14 companies from across the industry for a fantastic day of sport, networking, and fundraising.
“I must say a huge thank you to Cayla Price-Murphy, our Supplier Relationship Manager, for her superb organisation of the event.
“We are incredibly proud to share that the event raised over £2,000 for Mind, the mental health charity – a cause close to many hearts in the industry.

Tincknell Fuels: new club sign is a hit with youngsters
Somerset-based Tincknell Fuels is a proud sponsor of Salisbury Football Club.
As part of the sponsorship, through its Gillingham depot, the distributor has an advertising board at the club. With the original looking a little the worse for wear, Tincknell recently replaced it, installing a new truck-shaped one designed by Marketing Manager Jo Jones that has proved a huge hit!
Tincknell Fuels Manager Dominic Savage, a lifelong Salisbury fan, visited the club grounds with Jo to put up our brand-new tank-shaped banner. Featuring Chalkie the Panda, the club’s mascot, riding shotgun in a Tincknell’s truck, the new sign has proved very popular with the club’s fans – especially the younger ones!
“Sponsoring the club means a lot to us,” a spokesperson for Tincknell Fuels said. “We love backing our local communities, and cheering on the Whites is part of that!”
CORRECTION
An error in our July issue People Moves report of the retirement of former director of Tincknell Fuels Rob Ormond, saw Rob named, wrongly, as Rob Tincknell. We apologise for the error and wish Rob Ormond a very happy retirement!

Summing up the experience, Ben Firth, Sales Engineer at MechTronic, said: “It was such an amazing day and a great achievement from all of us! We completed the 12k course, including 26 obstacles in 1:54:09, which we are all very proud of!
