Nolan Oils – supporting their community
Nolan Oils, the Bicester-based fuel distributor, is always keen to support and help their local community. Over the last 12 months, they have sponsored and supported 36 local causes, charities and sports clubs.
They continue to be proud sponsors of Ardley United FC (who play on ‘The Nolan Oils Ground’) and have recently helped organise a charity football match to raise money for one of their players, Nate Robinson.
Nate recently donated his own heart valve to save his son. Nolan Oils and Ardley United FC were keen to raise money for Nate as he has lost income going through the procedure to support his son. Following surgery, Nate then developed a collapsed lung and pneumonia. He and his son are on the road to recovery, but it’s clearly been a challenging time.
Luke Nolan, Sales Director, said: “It was a great evening and heart-warming to see the local community and club come together to support this worthy cause.
“We all know without hesitation that we would do the same for our children but how many of us are put it that situation. We hope both have a speedy recovery and we look forward to seeing Nate back on the football pitch soon.”
Moorland Fuels – Tee-rific success on the golf course
Moorland Fuels, the Devon-based fuel distributor, is extremely proud of Director, Abby Turner, for her recent success in a South West golf tournament.
Abby explained more about the event: “I took part in the Women’s South West Inter-Counties Championships. It’s where the 6 Counties that make up the South West (Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire) play scratch matchplay against each other to see which county will go forward to represent the South West in the National Championships.
“This is the 12th year that I have represented Devon as part of the Inter-Counties Championships. It is always a highlight of my year. I love the camaraderie with my teammates and the opportunity to play against some of the best players in the South West. It was hard going at Perranporth Golf Course. The weather wasn’t great, with strong winds and a mizzly drizzle. Devon came third in the end, which is up a position on last year.”
A huge congratulations to Abby! If you or someone in your team has recently achieved sporting success then please do let us know: claudia@andpublishing.co.uk
