Patterson Oil is one of the biggest independent oil distributors in Northern Ireland with a current turnover of £13 million. The company currently runs 13 trucks, 5 tankers operating from its Gilford headquarters, 5 from a newer modern depot in Omagh, 2 X40' tankers servicing both locations from Belfast and 1 lubricant delivery vehicle. The company services the entire province right from Belfast to Londonderry. In addition to home heating oil (the main product) the company supplies Gas oil to the agricultural and marine market and lubricants to commercial customers.

Patterson Oil, since its inception 10 years ago, has carved out a strong market presence through hard work, total concentrated effort and being able to deliver what the customer wants in terms of reliable service and competitive price. This has been achieved despite competing against all the main players such as Shell, BP, Maxol etc.

Essentially Patterson Oil sees itself as a provider of quality service and value for money. The company communicates a totally professional image and at the same time controls its overheads to enable it to be lean and fit enough to respond to any pricing pressures in this extremely competitive market place. Our aim is "getting it right" all of the time and not settling for any less than 100% grade of service thus ensuring the "Life Time Value" of satisfied customers. What we really sell is heat, peace of mind and trust. We will respond to your needs better than our competitors.
