About JustTankers
From humble beginnings in the 1950's to today’s multi-product retail business, Just Tankers has always embodied high standards and a sterling reputation.

The Team
Matthew Gilmore took over the running of the Gilmore Services Ltd business in
2005, on his father’s retirement. He created the JustTankers.com website to market
its expanding New and Used Tanker Business.
In 2010 the company created its own MID approved pumping and metering
equipment, TruFlow, and is now supplying systems worldwide.
Sourcing New Tankers from Industry leaders Magyar means the product portfolio now stretches from Fuel Tankers to Pumping and Metering Equipment, Lube Oilers
to Loading racks and Powder Tanks to Waste Tanks and tankers for LNG and LPG.
Take time to look through our web site to see the range of products on offer, then
give us a call to talk through your requirements. You'll find us approachable and
experienced in all aspects of the products we offer.
We look forward to being of service and doing business with you soon.
