November 9th, 2026.



Charles Hewitt, the Chairman of Rock Oil, the long-established, UK-based manufacturer of motorsports and industrial lubricants, has been presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Warrington Business Awards.

Nominated and selected by the Warrington Chamber Plus Board, the award recognises Charles' achievements and contributions to the local business community.

Charles was instrumental in establishing the Rock Oil brand within the motorcycle arena in the 80’s with the loyal support of both the industry and many racing teams and riders. Rock’s partnership with the Kawasaki Team Green Off Road team is legendary, and still remembered by many today. More recently, Rock has been a series partner of the British Superbike Championship and the company still supports all forms of two-wheel racing.

Rock Oil will celebrate 100 years in business in 2028, so it’s fitting that Charles’ unwavering service has been recognised in this way.

Congratulations Charles!
