Birmingham, UK \u2013 Headpoint Advisors has successfully advised the shareholders of Pinnock Brothers Limited on the sale of the historic, fourth-generation family fuel distributor to AIM-listed NWF Group Plc.<\/p>\n

The deal, completed in April 2025, sees Berkshire-based Pinnock Brothers – a business with a heritage stretching back over 150 years – join forces with one of the UK\u2019s leading fuel distribution groups. The move marks another key milestone in the consolidation of the UK\u2019s fragmented fuel market and reinforces NWF Fuels\u2019 strategic expansion across southern England.<\/p>\n

Headquartered in Nantwich, NWF Group\u2019s Fuels division delivers over 650 million litres of fuel annually and is now strengthened by the addition of Pinnock Brothers\u2019 loyal customer base and strategically located depots in Thatcham and Kintbury.<\/p>\n

Andrew Pinnock, former owner of Pinnock Brothers, commented:
\u201cI would like to thank Headpoint for all their help, guidance and support throughout the sale process. It has certainly been a journey and with the Headpoint team by our side, we had the courage to make it to completion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Wilson, Partner at Headpoint Advisors, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great privilege for Headpoint to be trusted to advise on the sale of such a highly respected, fourth-generation family business with a proud legacy and a deep connection to the communities it serves. We\u2019re delighted to have helped deliver a deal that ensures that legacy continues and achieves a great outcome for the Pinnock family.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is not the first time Headpoint has advised in the oil distribution space. The firm also worked on the earlier sale of Oxfordshire-based Sweetfuels to NWF – a clear signal of Headpoint\u2019s growing reputation as the go-to advisor for family-owned businesses in this evolving sector.<\/p>\n

The Headpoint deal team comprised Mark Wilson, Oliver Stephens, and Joseph Lowe. Legal and tax advice to the shareholders was provided by Graham Spalding, Nicola Vernan and Lee Thompson of Lodders Solicitors LLP, Lisa Stevenson of Parisi Tax LLP, and Chris Davies and Sarah Lee at UHY Ross Brooke.<\/p>\n

NWF was advised by CEO Chris Belsham, supported by Dave Walmsley, Managing Director of NWF Fuels and Amar Bilal Anwar, with legal counsel from Rupert Gill and the team at Brabners, alongside Ros Jones of Dow Schofield Watts. <\/p>\n
