Rix Petroleum agrees year-long
partnership with Lincolnshire and
Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance
Leading family fuel supplier Rix Petroleum Ltd is flying high with its latest charity tie up.
THE company has formed a
year-long partnership with the
Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance
service and aims to raise thou-
sands of pounds for the charity.
Under the agreement, Rix
Petroleum will proudly display the
ambulance’s branding on the back
of selected tankers which makes
regular deliveries across the two
counties.
The company’s name will also
appear on the ambucopter itself
in the form of a bespoke tail wrap
as part of their 25th anniversary In
Safe Hands Campaign.
Rix Petroleum supplies domes-
tic heating oil and commercial
diesel to homes, farms and
businesses in the East Midlands
from depots across Lincolnshire,
along with agricultural lubricants,
heating services, boilers and
tanks.
As well as the Lincs & Notts Air
Ambulance, the company sup-
ports air ambulance services in
Yorkshire and the West Midlands.
Duncan Lambert, Managing
Director of Rix Petroleum Ltd,
described Lincs & Notts Air
Ambulance as a ‘truly worthy
cause’, adding he was delighted to
be partnering with the charity.
He said: “Rix Petroleum has
been serving farms, rural busi-
nesses and rural communities
for almost 100 years, so we
know that living and working
in the most remote areas
of the country can be very
hazardous.
“This is why the air ambulance
services are so vital to the com-
munities we serve.
“They are equipped to get to
remote areas faster than any
other form of emergency trans-
port and by doing so, save lives
on a regular basis.
“The crews do fantastic
work in what are often difficult
conditions, helping to look after
and protect the communities
we support, which is why we’re
delighted to support them.”
The company will be running
a comprehensive programme
of fundraising events over the
next 12 months and is encour-
aging all of its employees to get
involved.
Activities will range from
physical challenges such as
bike rides, runs and walks to
fun packed events like It’s a
Knockout, competitions, dress
down days and raffles.
Customers will also be able
to donate to their local air
ambulance service via the Rix
Petroleum website.

incredibly grateful to be working
with Rix Petroleum.
“With their support, not only will
this help to raise awareness of the
lifesaving work we do at the Lincs
& Notts Air Ambulance, but it will
also help to raise funds for our
vital service.
“As a charity we receive no
direct Government funding, so
every penny really does make a
difference and helps us to save
even more lives every single day
of the year.
“We quite literally could not
provide our vital emergency
medical service without the help
and continued support we receive
from our local communities.”
