NWF Group plc: Fuel acquisition in line with strategy
Acquisition
NWF Group plc ('NWF' or the 'Group'), the specialist distributor
of fuel, food and feed across the UK, today announces it has
acquired Consols Oils Limited, the second fuels acquisition in the
current year. This is in line with the Group's strategy to grow and
consolidate the fuels distribution business, in which the Group is
the third largest player in the UK.
Consols Oils is a 25 million litre fuel distributor based in
Redruth, Cornwall which expands the Group's UK coverage by adding a
leading supplier in West Cornwall, a new area for the Group's fuels
business. The acquisition supports the Group's development in the
South West.
NWF's growth strategy is to both expand the geographic coverage
of the fuels business within the UK and consolidate businesses
adjacent to the existing depot network. The acquisition of Midland
Fuel Oil Supplies Limited (announced on 12 December 2018) has been
integrated into the Kenilworth depot as planned and is performing
well.
Current trading
The Group is also pleased to report that current trading is in
line with the Board's expectations for the full financial year
ending 31 May 2019 after the completion of the important winter
period. The Group expects to issue a year end trading update in
mid-June in line with its prior year practice.

forecasts, can be found on the Group's website at www.nwf.co.uk
