Fuel delivered by people since 1927

About Rix Petroleum

For 100 years, Rix Petroleum has supplied fuel to homes, farms and businesses across the UK.

Today, we're proud to combine the personal service and local knowledge our customers value with a growing network of fuel supply locations.

A Family-Owned Business Since 1927

Rix Petroleum was established in East Yorkshire in 1927 and has grown into a fuel supplier serving homes, farms and businesses across the UK.

Over the past 100 years, our business has evolved, but our commitment to customers has remained at the heart of what we do.

Today, our teams continue to build on that heritage, combining experience, local knowledge and a personal approach to fuel supply.

Local Teams, Backed by the Rix Group

Our customers are supported by teams who understand their local areas and the people they deliver to.

From our depots and drivers to our customer service teams, we work together to provide a reliable, personal service.

As part of the wider Rix Group, we combine this local approach with the experience and resources of an established family-owned business.
