Corporate Social Responsibility

Supporting the Local Community

Our roots in Warrington run deep, and we are proud to support initiatives that make a tangible difference in the lives of local people. From schools to youth organisations, we actively engage with our community to promote education, employability, and personal growth.

Partnership with Warrington Youth Zone

Rock Oil is a proud partner of Warrington Youth Zone, a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to providing young people with a safe and inspiring space to learn, grow, and socialise. Our Managing Director, Greg Hewitt, serves on the board, ensuring our involvement goes beyond financial support to include hands-on engagement.

We regularly host tours of our plant and lab for Youth Zone members, giving them a behind-the-scenes look at the work of our scientists, engineers, and project managers. These visits aim to spark curiosity and introduce young people to the skills and careers available in industries like ours.

Collaborating with Local Schools

St Barnabas Primary School, located next door to our Warrington headquarters, is one of our closest community partners. Through plant and lab tours, we offer students a glimpse into the fascinating world of science and industry, encouraging their interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields.

Empowering Future Talent with Warrington UTC

We are dedicated to equipping young people with the skills they need to succeed in the workplace. Working with Warrington UTC and other educational institutions, we provide:

• Mentorship Programmes: Helping students refine their CV writing and interview techniques.
• Mock Interviews: Offering real-world feedback to prepare students for future opportunities.
• Industry Insights: Guided tours of our facilities, demonstrating the practical applications of their studies.

These initiatives aim to bridge the gap between education and employment, ensuring young talent is ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow.

Promoting Positive Change in Warrington

At Rock Oil, we understand that our responsibilities extend beyond our business operations. By actively supporting local charities, schools, and youth programmes, we aim to foster a culture of growth and opportunity in Warrington.

Our commitment to corporate social responsibility reflects our belief in giving back to the community that has supported us for nearly a century. We don’t just work here—we strive to make Warrington a better place for future generations.
