When a Royal Wedding met refinery expansion ๐Ÿ’ ๐Ÿ—

On 29 July 1981, while millions tuned in to watch the wedding of The Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer, an important milestone was taking place at Fawley.

A new distillation tower was lifted into position as part of the Lubricants Expansion Project, a three-year programme designed to improve lubricating oil yields and increase refinery efficiency.

Today, lubricants from Fawley are exported worldwide under the world-famous Mobil brand, helping to keep vehicles moving, industry operating and essential equipment running reliably.

More than four decades later, this investment remains an important chapter in the story of how innovation, expertise and long-term thinking have helped shape the site we know today.

Rt Hon Sir Julian Lewis visits ExxonMobil Fawley to see our transformation in action.

During an in-depth tour of our petrochemical complex, Sir Julian Lewis, MP for New Forest East, met the people that power our operations every day, including senior leaders, apprentices and valued contractors who work together to deliver the energy and chemical products that society needs.

Led by Joel Mizen, Fawley Site Manager, the visit included a tour of our new low-sulphur diesel facility and the official reopening of our recently renovated Austin Maintenance Complex, complete with upgrades designed to help upskill our workforce.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง As we continue to transform Fawley, we're securing skilled employment while enhancing a site that our neighbouring Waterside communities can be proud of.

Putting Netley View Skatepark on a roll with an โ€˜out-of-this-worldโ€™ makeover! ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ›ธ

ExxonMobil Fawley has helped give the popular Hythe skatepark an eye-catching makeover, with a ยฃ5,000 donation towards the creation of a bold, galactic-themed mural.

The two-day community project brought together young volunteers from across the area. Commissioned by The Handy Trust and delivered by MBN ARTS, the mural was unveiled at the long-awaited return of the Netley View Skatepark Competition.

๐Ÿ‘ With more than 100 residents in attendance, we hope everyone involved takes pride in transforming this much-loved community space for local people to enjoy for years to come.

From pioneering production to industry leadership ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

In 1963, Fawley became the UK's first butyl rubber manufacturing facility and only the second in Europe.

As demand for butyl rubber grew around the world, so did our capability. By 1971, annual production capacity had increased from 24,000 to 44,000 tonnes.

Originally produced for the inner lining of tyres due to its excellent air barrier performance, butyl rubber is also an essential material for a range of pharmaceutical and medical applications.

Today, ExxonMobil Fawley is Europe's leading butyl rubber manufacturer, building on more than six decades of innovation, expertise and dedication.

Bringing advanced emergency care closer to home ๐Ÿš‘

ExxonMobil Fawley is helping bring advanced life-saving care closer to patients across the region through a ยฃ10,000 donation to the South Central Ambulance Service BASICS (British Association for Immediate Care) team.

The funding will equip local volunteer Daniel Reeve, a BASICS Enhanced Care Paramedic, with specialist equipment to respond to serious and life-threatening incidents, including:

๐Ÿšจ Emergency warning lights and sirens
๐Ÿฉบ Handheld ultrasound device
๐ŸŽ’ Specialist clinical bags

โ€œAs a volunteer, I have to raise the funds to buy my own equipment, so this support really does make a difference, it means I can respond quickly to emergencies across the region with the right tools and provide advanced support when it is needed most,โ€ said Daniel.

Honouring our heritage, transforming today ๐Ÿšข โš“๏ธ

A new chapter for Fawley Marine Terminal begins with the opening of the Agwilake Maintenance Building.

Named after the SS Agwilake, the first vessel to deliver crude oil to Fawley in 1921, the newly refurbished building connects our proud maritime heritage with our vision for the future.

The dedicated maintenance hub enables teams to remain based on the terminal throughout the day, strengthening closer collaboration and improving efficiency, productivity and safe operations across the terminal.

Handling around 2,000 shipping movements each year, our Marine Terminal serves as a vital gateway for Britain's energy supply and the starting point for the fuels that support 70% of the UK population in their daily lives.

๐Ÿ‘ Congratulations to everyone involved in delivering another important step forward in our transformation journey.
