NP (SL) Ltd is widely known for being 1st for Customer Care. It is in every way strongly incontestable that as the leading petroleum marketing company in the country, NP (SL) Ltd has become very endearing to many.
This becomes even indisputable when cognizance is taken of how Management is very keen on optimizing and maximizing customer satisfaction in its service delivery trajectory.
Members of staff of the company are very mindful of the fact that it is the customer that comes first and therefore needs the utmost attention and always ensuring that transactions are conducted under a congenial atmosphere that always results in win-win situations.
Majority of the Filling Stations bearing the NP logo both in Freetown and the provinces are well built and mostly kept tidy with the Station Managers and Pump Attendants very polite to customers to such an extent that many customers have expressed the desire to continue to do business with the company after getting the first experience.
With the company’s introduction of the use of the NP Smart Card customers are saved the hassle of having to always move with large physical cash just for the purpose of purchasing fuel. By crediting and debiting the amount contained in the Smart Card fuel transactions are done timely and conveniently.
The company also markets NP Gas, a cooking gadget that is manufactured in different sizes which has been tested to be environmentally friendly and with a high performance rate. It is sold at different Filling Stations and by authorized dealers across the country.

Bagging another Award, therefore, did not materialize just out of the blues but as a result of the commendable strides that the company has been making to ensure that petroleum products are available as well as accessible.
