How it all started.

Our History.

Craggs Energy Ltd was established in October 2011 and was set up by Ralph Thornber, his wife June Thornber and their daughter and son-in-law Heidi and Chris Bingham.

Ralph formerly owned the Townson Thornber Distributorship and sold out in the 1980’s – where his name was established for delivering high levels of customer service and ensuring all his customers received their deliveries on time. Many of the original staff that worked for Ralph were keen to come back and work for him in his new venture and we still have those very same members of staff with us today.

Along with his son-in-law Chris Bingham, they set up a depot in Cragg Vale to deliver fuel to the local community. Coming from a software business background, Chris had a very good understanding of the consumer market and new technology.
