DCC’s energy division is to acquire the business and assets of Shell Direct UK for a total of €23m. Shell Direct supplies heating oils and transport fuels to domestic and commercial customers in Britain.
The business will operate as a Shell branded distributor trading as Emo Oil. It has 36 depots across Britain and employs around 500 people.
DCC says the business has sales of around 600 million litres a year, which would give a turnover of around €300m at current energy prices.
DCC expects the business to be ‘modestly profitable’ in its first full year of ownership. The company bought a similar business from BP in Scotland in 2001 and now claims to be the largest independent oil marketing and distribution business in the UK.
DCC chief executive Jim Flavin said today’s deal would leave the company well-placed to make further bolt-on acquisitions in the sector.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
