About Moorland Fuels
Fuelling the heartbeat of our community
Born in Okehampton in 2003, Moorland Fuels started with only two members of staff and one baby fuel tanker. Since then, we’ve grown the business while keeping houses heated, companies fuelled, and farms running efficiently with our reliable fuel, oil, and lubricant deliveries.
Reliable fuel supply, exceptional service, sustainable solutions with Moorland. We have been supplying a wide range of fuel solutions for homes, farms, and business for over 12 years.
We believe in community
Our manifesto
We believe in community.
In the power of the village green, the town hall and the school gates.
In local business, local industry, the local high street and being a ‘local’, in your local.
We believe in ‘Do you need a hand with that?’ ‘I was just passing?’ and ‘Well, seeing as it’s you.’
In familiarity, word of mouth and trust.
But we know that you can’t buy recognition, recommendation and reputation…
They can only be earned.
Earned with honesty, integrity, reliability, care and commitment.
Which is why we will always put the needs of our customers and our community first.
Why we will relentlessly focus on delivering the best service. Not simply the best price.
Why our team won’t just earn with us, they will own with us.
So, those farmers, families & businesses who depend on fuel, can depend on us to deliver it.
It’s why we exist, to fuel the heartbeat of our community.
Our values
We exist to fuel the heartbeat of our local community. We do this by following a set of values, both within our team and whenever we interact with customers and community members.
Continually seeking new ways to enhance our services and lead the industry forward.
We place our customers at the heart of everything we do, dedicated to understanding and exceeding their needs.
We deliver on our promises with consistency and unwavering commitment.
Together we succeed as one team, supporting each other to achieve shared goals.
Making a pledge, together
Proudly employee-owned since 2022
We’re big believers in people. In working together toward a shared goal. And in the simple truth that when you invest in your team, they’ll give back even more. That’s why, in 2022, we took a huge step — we became 100% employee-owned.
For us, this isn’t just a business structure; it’s a commitment and a passion. A commitment to our team, to our community, and most importantly, to you — our customers.
When you choose us, you’re not just dealing with employees, you’re dealing with owners. Every driver, customer service advisor, and fuel expert you interact with has a personal stake in what we do. That means they care about the business as much as you care about keeping your home, farm, or company running smoothly.
Being employee-owned gives every member of our team a voice, a purpose, and a real sense of pride. When you own something, you go the extra mile to make it the best it can be. So, you’re not just getting great service; you’re getting service that’s backed by heart and passion.
When you call us, you’re speaking to someone who genuinely cares about your needs. When we deliver fuel to your home, farm, or business, we make sure it gets there on time, because it matters to us just as much as it matters to you.
