A new Pace Fuelcare depot has been officially opened in Ransomes Business Park in Ipswich.

Ipswich MP, Ben Gummer, together with the Mayor of Ipswich, Councillor Mary Blake, and key representatives from Pace Fuelcare’s parent company, GB Oils, including Sam Chambers, Chairman, Paul Williams, Director, Simon Willis, General Manager, and Keith Durrant, Regional Manager, took part in a ribbon cutting ceremony to officially unveil the new oil terminal and declare it open for business.

Over £2 million has been invested in the depot including the latest tank gauging systems and safety features, as well as a comprehensive choice of quality fuel and lubricants.

Simon Willis, general manager for Pace Fuelcare, said: “The opening of the new depot highlights our commitment to support customers and businesses across the region, both in terms of fuel delivery and through business contracts with local suppliers in the immediate area. Following the closure of the Vopak Terminal two years ago, the new depot will be the only fuel terminal servicing South East Anglia, providing customers with a secure supply and dependable delivery of fuel.

“At Pace Fuelcare, we pride ourselves on our friendly and bespoke service and reliable oil deliveries so businesses can be assured the fuel will be supplied on time, every time.”
