The “MAXOL” History
The “MAXOL” Group is entirely Irish-owned and controlled by the McMullan family. The original company – McMullan Bros. Ltd. – was founded by William McMul-lan and registered in Dublin in 1920. The group has a network of 380 service stations and 50 Authorized Distributors, as well as Lubricants Distributors, and has a turnover in excess of Ђ600m. The present Board of Directors comprises Max, Noel and Mal-colm McMullan, all grandchildren of William. The Group Chief Executive is Tom Noonan.
Although originally operating only in Northern Ireland, the company rapidly expanded throughout the island to become one of the largest and most respected family-owned concerns in the country. It is estimated that, today, it is the third largest oil company on the island of Ireland and the Leading Independent Oil Company in Europe (ISSI survey 1997).
