An oil company is appealing for the help of youngsters to name its latest tanker.

Pace Fuelcare, local distributor of heating oils and fuels, is appealing to youngsters from the Tunbridge Wells area to suggest fun and innovative names to be printed on the tanker

The winning name will be printed on the vehicle based at the depot on North Farm Road, and will be visible for all to see while on its daily delivery routes.

Joanne Dobbs, regional manager at Pace Fuelcare, said: “We are looking for new names for our Certas Energy oil tankers and are appealing for local school children to let their imaginations run wild to help us do this.

“The competition is open to children up to the age of 11 and multiple name suggestions are welcome. The winning name will then be printed onto the tanker permanently and this will be seen driving across the Tunbridge Wells area as we deliver oil to our customers.”

As well as seeing their chosen name liveried on the cab of the tanker, the winner will receive a £150 book voucher for their school and a model tanker.

Joanne added: “We are a company which understands the importance of helping the local community and giving something back.

"We are always looking for new ways to work with the community, which is why we are now launching the ‘Name the Tanker’ competition and providing local children with the chance to name one of our tankers for all to see.”

The competition to find an alternative name is being hosted through Pace Fuelcare’s parent brand, Certas Energy.
