Over the years Cooke developed a specialist lubricants business before moving into fuel distribution.
Through strong relationships with major oil companies such as BP & Shell a successful fuel cards business grew and was subsequently sold.
The company focused on the sale and distribution of fuel and lubricants from three locations, Padiham, Barnsley and Stanlow (Mersey Oils).
The customer base ranged from domestic and retail through agricultural, industrial and distribution.
These ranged from smaller local tankers to large vehicles with up to 40,000 litre capacity.
