A 21st is a big occasion in everyone’s life and for the team behind Dunkeen Oil in Portlaoise, who celebrate 21 years in business this week, it’s no different.
Dunkeen Oil have been serving the Laois and surrounding counties now since 1997.
Now based on the Mountmellick Road where they employ 10 people and serve over 15,000 customers, Dunkeen Oil was originally a Maxol distributor based on the Dublin Road.
It was there for over 17 years but relocated in 2015 after being approached by Campus Oil to the Campus Oil Depot where they have taken over the customer base which Campus Oil had developed over the years.
Together they have almost doubled the size of their business.
Dunkeen Oil has always stood out from their competitors with a huge premium placed on their one-to-one customer service and an approach of treating the customer as your friend.
You can deal directly with the owners of Dunkeen Oil and get that feeling of appreciation from them for their custom.
They have always been known for their hugely friendly manner and for going above and beyond the call of duty to help people who need oil – day or night, Sundays and Bank Holidays. There has even been a handful of occasions over the 21 years where they’ve delivered on Christmas Day. Always obliging. Always with a smile.
Over the 21 years Dunkeen Oil have grown from one truck on the road to now having six trucks on the road six days a week servicing over 15,000 customers.
Dunkeen Oil have always believed in giver’s gain and in doing so over the past 21 years they have given back over €100,000 to their local area – for GAA clubs, schools, community projects, Tidy Towns, theatres projects and rugby clubs. The list is endless.
The secret according to Marcus and Lillian Ging, who are the Managing Directors of Dunkeen Oil is not a secret at all. It’s just simple. You get what you put in. Work hard, work with people, treat people with respect and having a fantastic team of staff and family around you all the time is the key to Dunkeen Oil’s success.
