Fuel distributor Suckling Transport saw revenues increase by almost 10% last year, exceeding expectations with its performance driven by the growth of customer relationships and new business opportunities.
The company said its continued investment in the aviation fuels sector helped expand its coverage and strengthened its presence in a strategically important market.
Turnover increased by 9.6% to almost £38m in the year ending 31 December 2025 and profit before tax increased by 1.4% to £3.4m.
“The fuels market continued to present a number of challenges throughout the year, including disruption arising from changes in refinery operations and supply flows,” Sucking Transport said in a review of its business.
“The company was well positioned to respond in an agile and effective manner, supporting customers throughout these periods of uncertainty and change.
“The fuels market in which we operate remains challenging, particularly with regards to changing supply points, short-term supply arrangements and product availability. The company is pleased with the manner in which its skilled employees and driver workforce continue to demonstrate flexibility and adaptability, responding effectively to market developments and evolving customer requirements, often at short notice.
“The outlook for 2026 remains positive, although competition within the market continues to intensify.”
