Forest Fuels acquires Midland Wood Fuel in wood fuel supplier merger

Midlands Wood Fuel (MWF), wood fuel supplier to Central and Northern England and Wales, has today joined forces with Forest Fuels, another UK wood fuel supplier, under the ownership of AMP.

MWF is a long-standing wood fuel supplier with 14 depots covering an area that stretches from York down to Gloucester and Oxford, with more than 500 customers.

According to Forest Fuels MD Peter Solly, the acquisition is “great news” and represents a “huge boost” for the wood fuel supply chain.

Mark Appleton, MD at MWF, echoes Solly’s sentiment, calling the merger a “natural fit”.

“Joining forces with Forest Fuels makes us a formidable force with an unbeatable quality wood fuel supply chain spanning the whole of the UK," Appleton said

Mainly a wood chip supplier, the company was a finalist in the UK’s Renewable Energy Association’s British Renewable Energy Awards this year.
