Sponsored by Prema, with the President’s Drinks Reception sponsored by Otodata, the dinner will be held on the Terrace at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool, offering panoramic views across the River Mersey – a fitting backdrop for an evening dedicated to connection, reflection and recognition.
Guest Speaker: John Parrott MBE
One of the most recognisable figures in British sport, John Parrott enjoyed an illustrious snooker career spanning the late 1980s and 1990s. He spent 14 seasons inside the world’s top 16, reached world No. 2 and secured nine ranking titles – including the prestigious 1991 double of the World Snooker Championship and the UK Championship.
Since retiring from full-time competition, Parrott has become a familiar face on BBC Sport, serving as a commentator, a longstanding team captain on A Question of Sport, and a contributor to the BBC’s coverage of major horse racing events including the Grand National, Royal Ascot and The Derby.
His mix of sporting insight, humour and behind-the-scenes storytelling is expected to make for an engaging and memorable evening.
Celebrating industry excellence
A highlight of the evening will be the presentation of three key UKIFDA Awards:
- Depot of the Year
- Driver of the Year
- Young Person of the Year (presented by John Parrott MBE)
These awards recognise professionalism, commitment and outstanding contribution across the downstream liquid fuels sector – shining a light on the people and teams who keep the industry moving every day.
With networking, recognition and sector pride at its heart, the UKIFDA Expo & Conference 2026 Dinner promises to be one of the standout moments of the event.
Fuel Oil News is pleased to, once again, be a media partner to the UKIFDA EXPO & Conference, and looks forward to connecting with readers and industry colleagues in Liverpool.
