Coryton Advanced Fuels
Coryton Advanced Fuels is a premier supplier of high specification and bespoke fuels to the automotive testing, motorsports and aviation sectors.
In 2010, Oakfield partnered with the Coryton management team to acquire a mothballed fuel blending plant from BP. Over the investment period, the company grew to become one of the most successful players in its market, serving blue chip customers on a global basis. It was ranked at number 39 in the Sunday Times Fast Track 100 for 2014, and at number 66 in the Sunday Times BT Business SME Export Track 100 for 2015.
The business was acquired by Lyceum Capital and Oakfield returned 8.4x to investors.
