ABOUT US
The tank storage sector is the pulse of our day-today life. It provides an essential link in the supply
chain for a large variety of liquid products, from
transport and heating fuels, to chemicals and
food-grade products such as animal feeds and
fats, oils and molasses. As a key link needed to
facilitate the transportation of liquid products,
terminals are present in ports and airports, logistic
platforms and along rivers, canals and pipelines.
These logistics hubs are central to the UK
economy, supporting our domestic commerce
in bulk liquid products and connecting it with
overseas markets.
Terminals are an essential part of global
infrastructure networks, ensuring that bulk
liquids are supplied when they are needed and
in the quantities required. Terminal operations
are present throughout the world with storage
hubs becoming established in Europe, the United
States, Middle East and Asia to provide the
necessary storage required for global commerce
in bulk liquids.
This dynamic and growing industry supports
over 4,000 direct UK jobs and draws on the
expertise and talent of a highly skilled, innovative
and resourceful workforce. It also places great
emphasis on training and development to give
employees at all levels the opportunity to learn
and grow. For more information about the sector,
