Certa Ireland is a wholly owned subsidiary of DCC plc and is part of the Energy Division of the Group. We were born out of the combination of successful Irish energy brands. We are one of the country’s leading home heating oil, commercial fuel, and agricultural diesel suppliers, in addition to other business divisions including retail forecourts, fuel card services and lubricants. In recent years Certa Ireland has grown with the acquisition of Campus Oil, Jones Oil, two lubricant businesses, and the establishment of the Certa forecourt network. What unites each of these brands is a powerful entrepreneurial spirit, a culture of high performance and agility and is underpinned by exceptionally string customer service.
DCC plc is one of Ireland’s most successful organisations, with over 11,800 people employed across the globe. DCC is a customer focused energy business. The multi-energy model delivers the secure, cleaner and competitive energy solutions the world needs now and in the future. Being a part of our parent company means that while we retain the agility and local resonance of a smaller organisation, we also benefit from the strength and scale of our parent company.
