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 NWF’s strategic ambition to expand its national footprint and consolidate the UK’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 Fuels’ presence in southern England and adds to its annual distribution of over 650 million litres.

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