INDUSTRY NEWS New TSA President
Andrew Amos has stepped down as President of the Tank Storage Association1 (TSA). Andrew will however take over the role of Vice-President for a period of 12 months to help with the implementation of TSA’s forward plans.
Paul Denmead, Director of Terminal Operations UK for World Fuel Services, who is the current Vice-President, will take over as President with immediate effect.
Andrew Amos commented “As I have now retired from my position as Projects Director for UM Storage, it is appropriate that I also hand over presidency of the TSA to Paul Denmead. The past 18 months leading the TSA has been a privilege and I have seen a dramatic change in the direction and growth of our association. Our status and visibility with Government and related agencies has grown significantly which is critically important to serving the needs of our
expanding membership. I am confident that Paul Denmead and Peter Davidson will continue to drive forward change, ensuring that we continue to be the focus of knowledge and experience for bulk liquid storage and terminal operations.
I will remain as Vice-President of the TSA so that I can offer any support and guidance required”. 1The TSA represents the interests of 42 member companies engaged in the storage of bulk liquids and the provision of products and services to the sector. Collectively members operate over 280 terminals and distribution hubs in the UK and have over 8 million cubic metres of storage capacity in the United Kingdom (UK) and Republic of Ireland (ROI).

Comma readies oil and lubricants market for EV opportunities
Comma Oil charging ahead with hybrid compatibility as EV interest grows
Oil and lubricants expert Comma Oil is gearing up for automotive electrification, building its range compatibility for hybrid vehicles.
Comma’s development of a quality hybrid-compatible oil and lubricants range will help workshops and distributors cater to an increasingly wide car parc of both petrol and diesel hybrid vehicles.
According to the SMMT, the market share of electric vehicles stands at just over 1%, but major manufacturers have already pledged to develop a host of new electric and hybrid vehicles, including Volvo promising all of its new models will be offered with an electric or hybrid option by 2019.
With a range of alternative fuel vehicles slowly being introduced to the market, workshop professionals across the UK can capitalise on the raft of hybrid and electric opportunities while building on existing petrol and diesel coverage.
Existing Comma products can be used in many Hybrid cars such as the Toyota Prius, with 0W-20 API SN grades being a good choice for the fuel efficient Japanese cars.
Mike Bewsey, Sales and Marketing Director at Comma commented: “While the hybrid and electric market remains comparatively small, the potential for growth is very promising, and Comma is
at the forefront, making it easy for workshops and distributors to adapt and thrive in an evolving automotive industry.
“The market for petrol and diesel engines will remain a linchpin of the market for decades, and the introduction of a range of hybrid and electric vehicles presents a real opportunity for businesses across the UK.”
