About Gull
Gull New Zealand is the independent oil company that is credited with keeping the fuel market competitive and giving
savings to the Kiwi motorist. It has become a serious player, offering a real choice for motorists in an extremely
competitive market. The company remains today a family owned operation.
Gull New Zealand was founded in 1998 by the Rae family who saw the need and potential for an independent energy
supplier. Adherence to a philosophy of low cost management, prudent investment decisions and a carefully planned
marketing strategy commenced with the building of a state of the art terminal in Mount Maunganui in 1998. Tanks were
relocated from Marsden Point by barge, a feat the opposition said was “impossible”.
Gull New Zealand made the first retail sales of petrol in 1999 and has grown the network to over 40 branded sites.
Gull has been a first mover in introducing innovative new products to the New Zealand energy market. These include low
sulphur diesel bringing environmental benefits well ahead of the opposition, as well as New Zealand’s first biofuel,
Gull Force 10 (a 10% ethanol mixed with premium gasoline giving higher octane and cleaner performance).
2010 saw Gull achieve another first and extend its environmental focus with release of Gull Diesel Max, a high quality
bio diesel blend sourced from sustainable New Zealand vegetable oil.
Gull now has four service stations that only sell bio fuels which is another first for New Zealand.
