GB Oils renamed to reflect growth plans

GB Oils, the UK’s largest independent fuels and lubricant distributor, is changing its name. The new name is Certas Energy UK Ltd.
Certas Energy currently delivers more than six billion liters of fuel nationwide and serves around 1,000 independent petrol retailers, while employing a workforce of 2,500 people.
“This represents a significant landmark in the development of our business”, said Ramsay MacDonald, retail director of Certas Energy. “In the past 10 years we have grown rapidly and with a number of brands currently within our portfolio, there was a need for change to meet ambitious growth plans and reflect the new shape of the business.”
“For customers and staff, we now have a clear identity supported by a set of values that everyone can understand and connect with. There will be greater clarity as to who we are and what we stand for. Certas Energy is a major player in the UK energy sector with long- term ambitions and the highest standards in health and safety and corporate responsibility.”
Petrol retailers who choose Certas Energy will be offered a range of products to support their businesses including the latest technology solutions to process all major fuel and credit cards, entry into the annual SuperStation Awards competition, a PRA membership, and the widest possible choice of lubricants.
