Oil 4 Wales acquires Milford Haven depot

Oil 4 Wales acquires Milford Haven depotINDEPENDENT OIL distribution company Oil 4 Wales has expanded its presence in West Wales with the strategic acquisition of a fuel depot in Milford Haven.

The family-run business, set up by Colin Owens formerly of Owen Fuels, has acquired the depot from Silvey Oil for an undisclosed sum. The agreement sees Oil 4 Wales take on the company’s two oil tankers, two drivers and two additional members of staff.

Supplying domestic, marine, agricultural and commercial oil across Pembrokeshire, the new depot grows Oil 4 Wales’ offering in West Wales adding to its depots in Felinfach, Ceredigion and Nantycaws, Carmarthenshire.

Colin Owens, managing director of Oil 4 Wales, said: “After lengthy discussions with David Harris of Silvey Oil we reached a decision to purchase the Milford Haven depot as it was mutually beneficial for both businesses. Oil 4 Wales already has a strong presence in West Wales through our two depots and we wanted to build on this to the benefit of customers there, while Silvey Oil wanted to focus on growing its West Country depots in Bristol and Devon.

“The depot is ideally located next to Milford Haven’s oil refineries and bringing it under the Oil 4 Wales banner allows us to grow our buying power giving our customers in West Wales a much fairer price for their fuel. Over the next three years, we plan to increase the number of vehicles at the depot to six to ensure our customers in Pembrokeshire receive the best possible service from us.”

Continuing its focus on the West Wales market, Oil 4 Wales has additionally acquired Clynderwen based Tom Leavitt Heating and Plumbing. Having contracted out work to Tom and his four OFTEC qualified engineers for the past year, the acquisition will see all the company’s services, which include boiler installation, maintenance, warranty service calls and repairs, brought in-house at Oil 4 Wales.

Growing the West Wales team, former Welsh rugby international and Llanelli Scarlets’ back row Dafydd Jones has been appointed a full time sales executive for Oil 4 Wales.

Originally from Aberaeron, Dafydd Jones has been working as an ambassador for the company for the past year alongside Oil 4 Wales’ other ambassadors Scarlets’ hooker Ken Owens, Racing Metro flanker Dan Lydiate, Scarlets’ fly-half Rhys Priestland, Ospreys’ back row Ryan Jones and WRU kicking coach Neil Jenkins.

And completing the West Wales expansion, Scarlets’ centre Jonathan Davies, who starred in the victorious 2013 British and Irish Lions tour to Australia, joins as senior brand manager. In his new role, the 25-year-old, who has 36 international caps for Wales, will represent the company at events and openings as it continues with its ambitious growth plans across Wales.

Colin continued: “We’re delighted to welcome Jonathan to the Oil 4 Wales brand ambassadors team as we fulfil our dream and business plan of becoming the oil brand for Wales.

“We are a very proud Welsh company so it is great for us to have members of the Welsh rugby team on board as they share the same passion for Wales as we do.

“We know Jonathan will be a popular addition to our squad of ambassadors and look forward to having him at many events in the future.”

Jonathan Davies said: “I feel privileged to have been asked to join Oil 4 Wales. As a family, we know Colin well as my Mum and Dad use the company for their oil supply needs, but I also know Colin through his sponsorship of the Scarlets. I’m delighted to be joining this family-run business which has the community at the heart of its operation and hope my involvement will help them grow even more customers in Wales.”

Oil 4 Wales is a family run company, which was founded by entrepreneur Colin Owens, in 2011. The company, which supplies a range of fuel services to homes, businesses, commercial premises, agricultural and retail customers, has been well supported by those keen to see the success of a truly independent Welsh oil brand and now supplies over 17,000 customers in Wales.

    Senior adults constitute one of the quickest-rising demographics adopting CBD [url=https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/pages/how-long-does-thc-edibles-stay-in-your-body ]How long does THC edibles stay in your body?[/url] products. As the body gets older, the endocannabinoid system may get less efficient, making supplementation exceptionally beneficial. Low-dose formulations like gummies provide a simple entry point for first-timers. Speaking with a healthcare professional beforehand is always a smart step.

Milford Haven Chinese restaurant bedsit scheme approved

Published

16 hours ago

on

April 22, 2026

By

AMENDED plans for a scheme to convert a vandalised former Pembrokeshire town centre Chinese restaurant to a flat and bedsits has been approved.

In an application recommended for approval at the February meeting of Pembrokeshire County Council’s planning committee, Mr S Sahin and Miss S Ahmed, through agent Hayston Developments & Planning Ltd, sought permission for a change of use of Grade-II-listed 20 Hamilton Terrace, Milford Haven from the former Mandarin Restaurant to one flat and eight bedsits.

The application had previously been recommended for approval at the January meeting, but was deferred pending a site visit after member of the public Jessica Clarke raised concerns about the potential impact on her mother’s neighbouring property, with issues of height and massing, surface water discharge, and shared boundary walls.

The scheme, in the town’s conservation area, was before committee rather than delegated to officers as it was recommended for approval despite being contrary to development plan policy.

A supporting statement said of the initial scheme: “The property has historically been in use as a Chinese restaurant on the ground floor with two flats on the upper floors of the building. The ground floor use of the building ceased some 10 years ago and currently lies vacant. Due to the lack of use of the building, it is in a very poor condition and has been the subject of unfortunate vandalism particularly to the interior of the building.”

It added: “The proposal would represent a high-quality and sympathetic conversion and extension of the building, and which would make a positive contribution to the locality and conservation area status.”

Speaking at the February meeting agent Andrew Vaughan-Harries said, following the site visit, an alternative hip-roof as “a compromise” to lessen the impact on neighbours by reducing the £200,000 investment’s scale and bulk.

At that meeting, members backed a compromise delegation for final any approval going to a senior officer on condition the hip roof design could be formally agreed.

A report recommending approval of the amended scheme said concerns had been raised on those plans by two members of the public, raising concerns regarding amenity impacts, the scale and siting of the extension, the external staircase, alleged unauthorised works to the listed building and general concerns regarding process and property value.

The report added: “These matters have been considered in the context of the amended scheme. The issues raised do not introduce any new material planning considerations that would alter the assessment presented in the original committee report.

“The proposed amendments do not result in unacceptable impacts, and the overall planning balance remains unchanged.”

The application was conditionally approved.

Tenby Loungers Lansio Lounge work done without permission

Published

April 21, 2026

By

A RETROSPECTIVE call for works associated with the new Loungers beachfront venue in Tenby has been given the go-ahead.

In an application approved by Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Loungers UK Limited, through agent Richard Pedlar Architects, sought retrospective permission for new fascia signage, a new wall-mount menu board and a free-standing menu board at the new Loungers based at the former Salty’s Beach Bar and Restaurant, Battery Road.

Back in January, UK-wide hospitality company Loungers plc announced it was planning to open a new beachfront Lansio Lounge at Tenby’s South Beach, with the promise of 30 jobs created, on March 25.

Lansio Lounge is based at the former Salty’s Beach Bar and Restaurant on Water’s Edge, South Beach.

The announcement for the Loungers plans for the former Salty’s Beach Bar and Restaurant were revealed shortly after the application to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park for Loungers signage at Salty’s.

Family-run venue Salty’s Beach Bar and Restaurant announced its closure on social media, confirming that Sunday, January 4 was its final day of trading.

An officer report recommending approval for the signage said the call for the retrospective installation and associated works “has attracted numerous third-party representations, primarily raising concerns in relation to potential light pollution and the colour treatment of the existing windows and doors”.

It went on to say consultation responses from relevant statutory consultees “confirm that the proposed halo illumination is acceptable and would not give rise to unacceptable levels of light pollution, nor would it adversely affect nearby designated sites or sensitive landscapes,” adding: “A planning condition has been attached, requiring the submission and approval of revised details to secure a more neutral colour finish for the external joinery and menu boards, to ensure an appropriate visual appearance in the context of the surrounding area.”

The application was conditionally approved by Park planners.

THE NEYLAND and Llanstadwell Heritage Group is pleased to acknowledge the support of Dragon LNG as a Founding Sponsor of its newly launched heritage website.

The website was officially launched at a special community event held at Neyland Hub on Wednesday, April 15, marking 170 years to the day since Isambard Kingdom Brunel brought the railway to Neyland in 1856. 

As part of the evening, Dragon LNG presented a cheque in support of the project, recognising the importance of preserving and sharing the area’s rich local history.

The new website has been developed as a central and accessible resource to bring together research, stories, and historical material relating to Neyland and Llanstadwell. It is intended not only as a record of the past, but as a living resource that encourages community involvement and participation.

Carol Elliott, Chair of the Neyland and Llanstadwell Heritage Group, said: “We are extremely grateful to Dragon LNG for their generous support. Their contribution has helped make this website possible, ensuring that the history of Neyland and Llanstadwell can be preserved and shared with the community and with future generations.”

A spokesperson for Dragon LNG said: “Following a request from Gareth, a member of our Team, we are delighted to support the new Neyland Heritage Website, through our Staff Sponsorship programme, reflecting his valued involvement in the Neyland and Llanstadwell Heritage Group.    We are proud to support initiatives that celebrate and preserve local heritage. This project reflects the strong sense of community in Neyland and Llanstadwell, and we are pleased to play a part in helping to make local history more accessible to all, particularly younger generations.”

Dragon LNG plays an important role within the local community, supporting a range of initiatives and organisations across Pembrokeshire. Their support for the heritage website reflects a continued commitment to community engagement and the promotion of local identity.

The Neyland and Llanstadwell Heritage Group hopes the website will become a lasting resource for residents, visitors, and schools, while also encouraging wider participation from the community in recording and sharing its history.

The new website can be viewed at: https://www.neylandhistory.org.uk/
