Crown Oil News & Updates

Heywood’s St Luke’s Church has been left a legacy to repoint the church steeple. However, during the renovation process, several issues became apparent with the town’s clock, costing a total of £30,000 to repair. We are absolutely delighted to have filled the final gap in funding, and have donated £8,000. As a local born and bred business, we feel extremely passionately about supporting those in need, particularly in our local area.

At Crown Oil we feel really strongly about supporting those in need. In the last 12 months we’ve donated over £22,500 to local charities and causes. A big part of this is our charity calendar, Crown Advent.
