MAXOL
Brief History
The Mex name was introduced by Mexican Eagle Petroleum before the First World War and used throughout
Britain and Ireland. When Shell took full control of the company in 1921 the Irish assets were omitted from the deal and the
Mex operation was sold instead to the McMullen family. They remain in control today, with affiliated operations in both
Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic.

The first road maps were issued by Mex in 1953, but few survive. |
