A brief history of Isherwood's Petrol Co Ltd With thanks to Denis Kay for providing the images in this collection together with much background information on Isherwood's. Denis was employed by Isherwood's in various capacities - Sales, Transport and Wholesale Manager, and was responsible for the design and introduction of the company brand ' V.I.P.' First established in 1934, Isherwood's based at 128 Wellington Road, Eccles, Lancashire, had variable business interests - from operating a small chain of petrol stations in the Manchester area retailing the brand 'Super Petrol' to acting as Wholesalers to other retailers and commercial users. Distribution of oil products, which were purchased from both home and abroad, were by the company's own small fleet of road tankers. In 1951 the company operations were rationalised with the formation of a new company that would solely hold and operate petrol stations whilst the main Isherwood's company would act as a wholesaler supplying other retailers and commercial operators, as well as its own Super Petrol outlets. Three Petrol Tankers, a Bedford Artic with 2500 gallon capacity and two Ford 4D's each with a 1500 gallon capacity had been recovered from the war time transport pool and this marked the start of the company's post war petrol distribution which was to be an important part of the company's operations until later in the 1950's when 'Solus' was introduced resulting in Isherwood's losing the majority of its retail trade. Changes to branding started to occur in 1958 with the introduction of V.I.P. Petrol which replaced the old brand of Super Petrol. V.I.P. standard petrol was sold in various octane's from 73 to 82 which was dependant on the supplier amongst which were; Manchester Oil Refinery, Berry Wiggins Weaste, Total Oils, and Petrofina. The next grade was V.I.P. Premium which had octane's between 90 and 95 and in 1959/1960 a V.I.P. Super Premium grade was introduced with a minimum grade at 100 octane. In 1958 Denis Kay, who at that time was Sales and Transport Manager, put forward proposals to owner directors Albert Cook and Arnold Isherwood for the introduction of a new brand initially called 'ZIP' designed in blue lettering with a red flash going through it. Denis had been inspired by the pre war Russian Oil Products company brand of ZIP and after a mock up design his proposals were accepted. Half a dozen or so Cathedral type glass globes were then purchased from Hailwood and Ackroyd and were painted up by Denis with the new ZIP logo. A company filling station in Southport was chosen to pioneer the new brand which was soon fitted up with its pumps bearing the new style ZIP globes. However, within a few weeks the company was contacted by the Russian Trades Delegation in London who advised Isherwood's that the new brand was infringing copyright of the Russian Oil Products company and had to be changed. This was a blow but Denis soon recovered the situation by simply changing the 'Z' to a 'V' and with the addition of a few full stops after each letter ' V.I.P.' petrol was born. Denis engaged 'ZELL-UM' of Blackpool to produce V.I.P. stick on transfers and the new company branding was soon on show at all company outlets and on all company vehicles. Isherwood's commercial supply operations had been expanded when a petrol distribution depot owned by Kieft Oils at Long Bank, Bewdley, Worcestershire was taken over and used to supply the local farming and transport community with Gas Oil, Kerosene, and Derv. The price of oil has always been key to success and by 1961 Isherwood's was purchasing nearly half of their requirements from Petrofina and Total which in contrast by 1964 Isherwood's was importing nearly all of its supplies with the main supplier being the Signal Oil & Gas Company of California. The company's expansion plans continued when in 1963 it purchased two smaller wholesale distributors - Octane Petroleum Co Ltd and Orbit Petroleum Ltd and in 1964 the company opened its Barry Island Ocean Storage Depot. This year saw the Signal Oil & Gas Company of California take a substantial stake in the company and by the end of 1964 Isherwood's was supplying 371 retail outlets, which included 17 owned by the company, and had entered into its own Solus arrangements with 8 outlets. They also built and sold Road Tankers to other operators which they promoted at the 1964 Commercial Vehicle Show at Earls Court where they unveiled their new 2500 gallon road tanker. In 1967 the company moved its head office to Sale in Cheshire and by 1968 the company was operating a fleet of 80 vehicles. The company was sold to Occidental Petroleum in 1968 and the brand became VIP-OXY operating under the revised company name of ' VIP Petroleum Ltd' which by 1972 some 103,000,000 gallons annually was being was distributed from 8 depots around the country by a smaller fleet of 50 longer road tankers. The VIP brand was soon to disappear though when in 1974 ELF Petroleum bought the company and absorbed all operations under its own brand.
