NWF Fuels, which has its headquarters in Nantwich is expecting its full-year profits to be ahead of original expectations.
The fuel and feed distributor believes that its full-year results, to May 31, 2023, will show full-year profits to be no less than £17.5 million.
The group, which was established in Nantwich in 1871, said momentum from its record first half-year results had carried over into the second with a strong performance across all divisions of the business.
The company has also benefitted from the contribution of the recently acquired Sweetfuels which it bought for £10 million in December.
In a trading update to the London Stock Exchange, the company said: "Whilst final quarter trading continues to be subject to seasonal factors, the strong year-to-date performance together with the supportive backdrop entering March means that the Board now anticipates the Group's full-year result to be significantly ahead of the market expectations."
