Four Seasons Fuel started in 1994 as a firewood merchant but our beginnings go back to 1987, when Jeremy Harris (known as Jez) started a landscaping business. Landscaping generated a lot of wood, so Jez – ever the entrepreneur – started selling the leftover wood as firewood, rather than letting it go to waste.
In 1998, when the firewood business was in full swing, we were approached by a national LPG company to distribute gas cylinders on their behalf. Within four years, we’d grown the LPG business to such a degree that we invested in buying our own cylinders.

Winters have naturally always been busy for us, but soon after we started trading, we realised we needed to diversify to ensure the business could thrive throughout the rest of the year. So, in 2009, we established Bargas and began supplying beverage gas to pubs, bars and restaurants. Bargas is overseen by Scott, Jez’s son, who had joined the business in 2008. Truly a family-run business, Jez’s wife, mother and brother have all worked for the company too and helped towards its growing success.

And we didn’t stop at firewood, LPG and Bargas – in 2015, we became an approved coal merchant. By October 2020, further growth meant we commissioned our LPG filling plant. Sourcing our LPG gas directly from the refineries allows us to offer our customers the most competitive prices.
