On April 21st 2024, Malcolm Hollingsworth celebrated a career milestone that is quite incredible in this day and age, it was 50 years to the day that Malcolm joined Gulf Oil (GB) Ltd in London, since then Malcolm has worked continuously in the Oil Industry.
Malcolm is a qualified Engineer and has successfully taken those skills into the Oil Industry, during his time with Gulf he worked in both Fuels and Lubricants sectors, and held a number of Sales, Marketing and Operations Management roles both in the UK and overseas. Malcolm has focussed on the Lubricants Sector for the majority of his career.
In late 1997 Chevron made a strategic decision to withdraw from its UK business’s and Malcolm alongside Gulf colleagues, Nick Webb, Peter Hutchinson and John Eland made a decision to form Optimum Oils Ltd, the business has grown into a significant player in the UK, Ireland and export markets and
Malcolm is still actively involved as board Member and Director.
During his 50 years in our industry, Malcolm has always supported and helped his colleagues in their development and continues to do so today, and Optimum Oils is very fortunate to still be able to call on his experience! Well done Malcolm and thank you for the service shown to the UK Lubricants Industry.
