Kippen kids have the chance to name an oil tanker.

Scottish Fuels, distributor of heating oil and fuel, is appealing to youngsters from the Kippen area to suggest fun and innovative names to be printed on its latest tanker.

Gerry Paice, general sales manager at Scottish Fuels, said: “We are looking for new names for our Scottish Fuels oil tankers and are appealing for local school children to let their imaginations run wild to help us do this.

“The competition is open to children up to the age of 12 and multiple name suggestions are welcome. The winning name will then be printed onto the tanker permanently and this will be seen driving across the Kippen area as we deliver oil to our customers.” As well as seeing their chosen name liveried on the cab of the tanker, the winner will receive a £150 book voucher for their school.

Gerry added: “We are a company which understands the importance of helping the local community and giving something back. We are always looking for new ways to work with the community, which is why we are now launching the ‘Name the Tanker’ competition and providing local children with the chance to name one of our tankers for all to see.” To enter, go to www.scottishfuels.co.uk/customer-service-advice/scottish-fuels-name-tanker. Closing date is Friday 10 October.
