Can you believe we’re already halfway through the year? It won’t be long until the nights start drawing in! The first 6 months of 2016 have been fairly remarkable in oil terms with the price of oil doubling in a short space of time.

With the EU referendum now less than 3 weeks away, we are looking at “Brexiting” and the impact it could have on the oil industry?

We have recently taken part in the annual breakfast event for Cancer Research UK. On Friday 11th March we invited all the Rix team to come together for a shared breakfast in our HQ in Hull.

As the temperatures start to drop again, Rix Petroleum is continuing to keep their customers warm, some of them for free. Working with the Leamington Spa Courier, we ran a competition for a lucky winner to receive 500 litres of Heating Oil for the winter.

In 2 weeks, our Agricultural team will be heading to beautiful North Yorkshire to exhibit at YAMS (Yorkshire Agricultural Machinery Show).

At Rix, we care about being involved with the local community, and attending county shows and events are a great way of catching up with our customers. Listed below are some of the shows that we will be at throughout 2016

We know how precious your time is, that’s why we’ve worked hard to make the process of purchasing your heating oil as quick and easy as possible.
