NWF Group Plc, the AIM-listed fuels and food distribution company, has acquired Pinnock Brothers Limited, a fourth-generation family-owned fuel distributor based in Berkshire. The acquisition supports NWFโ€™s strategic ambition to expand its national footprint and consolidate the UKโ€™s fragmented fuel market.

Founded over 150 years ago, Pinnock Brothers operates depots in Thatcham and Kintbury and serves a loyal regional customer base. The deal strengthens NWF Fuelsโ€™ presence in southern England and adds to its annual distribution of over 650 million litres.

The transaction follows NWFโ€™s earlier acquisition of Sweetfuels, also advised by Headpoint, marking continued momentum in sector consolidation.
