Fuel distributor buy-out unites North Yorkshire family businesses

Northern Energy has swooped for fellow North Yorkshire heating and fuel oil supplier Kettlewell Fuels.

The Harrogate-based business, celebrating its 90th anniversary, has taken on the 35-year-old family-owned firm in an undisclosed deal. Operating from Melmerby, near Ripon, Kettlewell served domestic, agricultural and commercial customers across the region.

Described as a strategic acquisition, it will support Northern’s growth ambitions as the fifth generation business looks towards its centenary. Kettlewell is a partner within Phillips 66's Jet fuel brand distribution network, with fuels produced at the Humber Refinery.
