HEATING OIL COMMERCIAL FUEL FARM FUEL ABOUT US CONTACT US Call me back Watson Fuels in the local community Since its formation in 1957, and throughout its development from a local to national company, Watson Fuels has always been aware of its place in the community. Headquartered in the rural village of Brinkworth, Wiltshire, we're proud to support a number of local activities and charitable causes in and around our home community. In 2014, we were privileged to contribute to the Seagry Spitfire Memorial Project; helping to fund a statue honouring the lives of two Second World War RAF pilots whose planes crashed locally. Other supported events included the 2014/15 music programme of the nearby Malmesbury Jazz Society, while our backing of the Dauntsey 10k Run for Cancer Research is now entering its fourth year. We're also extremely proud of our ongoing partnership with Send a Cow, the Bath-based international development charity, and our Official Charity Partner for 2014 and 2015. The partnership allows us to support Send a Cow as they work towards their goal of a confident and thriving rural Africa, with our collaboration comprising of both annual donations to the charity, as well as a co-branding partnership that enables us to help Send a Cow promote their fundraising initiatives through our marketing platforms. Operating nationwide through a depot network of over 50 local depots, we've done our utmost to build and maintain a reputation for actively contributing to the towns and villages in which we operate and the communities in which we serve because we see it as only right that we help where we can. Our support of local communities typically falls into three main areas: Local sports clubs and individuals Active in the field of sponsorship, Watson Fuels is equally as honoured to sponsor professional sports teams as it is local youth teams. In addition to our sponsorship of the Exeter Chiefs, we are long term supporters of both Ledbury and Cullompton rugby clubs, and have recently worked closely with Gwernyfed Rugby Club in Powys. Furthermore we've been able to assist local junior and senior football clubs near our Totnes, Wisbech, Wigan, Torrington and Dorchester depots. Our brand logo can be seen on the kits of the Wisbech Acorns, Ledbury Swifts YFC, and Rogarth YFC. Wisbech Acorns Ledbury Swifts YFC Rogarth YFC Recent years have seen greater involvement in cricket, with clubs in Herefordshire, Kent, Cornwall, Wiltshire and Devon all receiving backing from the Watson Fuels group of companies. Agricultural events With our roots in the agricultural community, Watson Fuels has been keen to promote numerous local ploughing matches, agricultural fairs, Young Farmers Clubs and farming charities. We see this as a key area of support with many of our staff either coming from a farming background or still involved in the local agricultural community. We also support the Rare Breeds Survival Trust and their efforts in conserving rare native breeds of farm animals and poultry. Local events, societies, and charities The most varied area of our community involvement is our support of local fetes, shows, steam rallies and fundraising events. A number of depots are involved in helping local libraries and societies with their fundraising. Just one example will be our Louth depot, who have recently supported the nearby Louth museum, as well as the local dramatic society; the Louth Playgoers. In addition to the three areas above, Watson Fuels supports employees in their charitable endeavours through sponsorship, donations and any additional help that may be necessary. Staff members are always encouraged to take part and help where they can, and as a result know they can rely on the company for backing. The way Watson Fuels works within the community is very much tied-in with its structure. As we operate local depots, we still like to work within the local community, supporting sports clubs, events, charities and projects wherever appropriate.
