Founded in 1845, Samuel Cooke & Co (Cooke’s) is a long established, independently owned business, which has operated throughout its history from a base in North East Lancashire.

With origins in the Lubricants industry and in particular supplying the local cotton mills, Cooke’s has moved with the times. Over the years Cooke’s developed a specialist lubricants business before moving into fuel distribution. Through strong relationships with major oil companies a successful fuel cards business grew and was subsequently sold.

The company is currently focused on the sale and distribution of fuel from three locations, Padiham (head office), Barnsley and Stanlow. Serving a diverse customer base made up of industrial, agricultural, distribution, retail and domestic customers requires a flexible fleet of vehicles.

Our current fleet reflects our customers’ needs with vehicles ranging from ‘baby’ tankers up to 40,000 litre capacity articulated vehicles. We recognise that our success is delivered through our people and will continue to invest in the development of professional staff who can deliver products and services to our customers in line with our core values of Safety, Service and Efficiency
