McFall Fuel is making its mark on Whanganui. The family-owned business operates throughout the North Island servicing anywhere from Warkworth to Wellington. The main focus of the business is providing fuels and lubricants to a wide variety of businesses in transport, construction, forestry, commercial activities, ag contracting, and farming, as well as manufacturing, quarries, marine and home heat.
The McFall Fuel Fuel Card also gives its customers access to New Zealand's most comprehensive and growing network of BP retail sites, G.A.S, and their own sites.
The business has 174 employees and has a real ethos of family values and principles. It's owned by Allan McFall, the founders' son, who has run the business since 2002. He has strong family ties with Whanganui so it was important to begin to create a real presence here in the city and the surrounding Region.
In the past, Whanganui has just been considered an extension of the Taranaki region, but with the recent recruitment of Richard McCosh, area sales manager Whanganui, who was raised in the city, the focus is shifting. Richard has a sales background and knows the area well having previously worked for a well-known local business.
"It's great to be able to serve the Whanganui community," says Richard. "There is a real opportunity for growth here, and it is important that Whanganui creates its presence within the region as a leading supplier of fuels and lubricants. We already partner with many Whanganui companies, and we are keen to strengthen our brand with local businesses further."
Since it began in 1987, McFall Fuel has grown considerably, but despite the growth, it still operates with the same strong family values at the core of the business. They remained steadfast during 2020 with the outbreak of Covid-19 with all employees remaining in employment.
