The purchase of Harrisons Oils, a well-established fuel supplier in the North-West, continues NWF’s sector consolidation as it continues to expand its customer base.
The acquisition follows earlier deals this year, including Northern Energy Oil, Pinnock Brothers, and N Booth and Sons. This further strengthens the distributor’s footprint in the North-West of England, connecting strongly with the existing network. Operating across Lancashire and Cumbria, Harrisons Oils is known for its large domestic and agricultural customer base.
Mark Adcock, Sales Director commented: “We’re thrilled to welcome Harrisons Oils. This acquisition aligns perfectly with our strategy to build scale, enhance operational efficiency, and deliver exceptional service to our customers. Harrisons has a loyal customer base and a reputation for reliability, which complements our existing network and values. Their customer base across Lancashire and Cumbia fits perfectly within our existing depot network.”
Preserving local service
Importantly, 6 employees from Harrisons Oils will transfer to NWF Fuels, ensuring continuity of service and preserving local expertise. The business will continue to operate under the Harrisons Oils brand, maintaining its trusted identity while benefiting from NWF’s broader infrastructure and investment capabilities.
Richard Harrison, Owner, commented: “NWF Fuels ownership marks an exciting new chapter for Harrisons Oils. We’ve built our business on trust, reliability, and strong relationships with our customers across the North-West, and I’m confident that NWF shares those same values. Their scale and resources will allow us to offer even more to our customers while preserving the local service they’ve come to rely on.
“I’m proud of what our team has achieved, and I look forward to seeing Harrisons Oils thrive as part of NWF Fuels.”
With four acquisitions completed in 2025, and an active pipeline of potential deals, NWF Fuels is positioning itself as a dominant force in the UK’s fuel distribution sector. With a strategic focus on growth through acquisition, and robust finances, the business continues its rapid expansion.
