About
Essar Oil (UK) Limited operates the Stanlow refinery, a strategic national asset that supplies more than 16% of the United Kingdom’s road transport fuels and provides essential petrochemical feedstocks for the country’s chemical industry. The company delivers a full suite of energy services—including crude and product trading, refinery operations, maintenance, technological support, and marketing—to a diverse client base that spans major retail fuel brands, supermarkets, Manchester Airport, commercial airlines, and regional rail and bus operators. With over 900 skilled employees, Essar emphasizes a strong safety culture and environmental stewardship while driving the UK’s decarbonisation agenda through its planned energy‑transition cluster in the North West. In FY 2017‑18 the business generated $5.4 billion in revenue and $161 million in post‑tax profit, supported by $870 million of investment since acquiring Stanlow in 2011, positioning the company for continued growth and financial performance improvement.
