Company Overview

Standard Fuel Oils is a leading supplier of fuel products across the UK, known for delivering exceptional service and reliable supply to a wide range of industries. Due to continued growth, we are now looking for a talented and motivated Management Accountant to join our finance team at our office in Knowsley.

We have been recognised by the Financial Times as one of Europe's Financial Fastest Growing Companies in both 2023 and 2024.

In November 2023 we acquired River Marine Fuels Ltd a marine bunkering company based in the heart of Liverpool, with over 50 years of marine fuel expertise the acquisition reinforces our foundation and aligns seamlessly with the core values that have fueled our success.

In March 2025 we acquired Solo Petroleum a small independent family run business in Yorkshire, the acquisition benefits our business model in terms of location and the plan is to have this company as a brand of Standard Fuel Oils rather than retain it as a subsidiary company.
