Atlantis Tanks has launched an exciting new competition for 2025, aimed at celebrating the best heating oil tank installations across the UK. The competition will highlight the skill, expertise, and precision of heating engineers and installers while also promoting safe and compliant oil tank installations.
We spoke with Jon Mytton and Kieran Mytton, senior representatives from Atlantis Tanks, to learn more about the competition’s origins, objectives, and benefits for installers.
The inspiration behind the competition
Why did Atlantis Tanks decide to launch this competition?
“We wanted to shine a light on the fantastic tank installations that heating engineers carry out daily.
“Too often, these installations remain hidden from view—tucked behind fire-resistant walls or outbuildings. While they may not be the most aesthetically pleasing structures, their proper installation is critical for safety, compliance, and environmental protection.
“This competition allows us to showcase excellence in oil tank installation and encourage more engineers to choose Atlantis Tanks.”
From the industry, for the industry
Atlantis Tanks describes itself as a company ‘passionate about the industry.’ How does this competition reflect that?
“We started as an oil installation company before evolving into a manufacturer and supplier of storage tanks.
“Despite expanding into other industries, our roots remain in heating oil storage, both domestic and commercial. This competition reflects our ongoing commitment to excellence in the field.”
A family-owned business with strong values
How does being a family-run business benefit Atlantis Tanks?
“Our close-knit management structure allows us to take a long-term approach, ensuring customer satisfaction and business stability.
“For example, we invested in our own production facility in Mildenhall, Suffolk, which helps keep costs down and prices stable for our customers. We also have a major ongoing project focused on redesigning and improving our tank production across several different uses and industries. Ensuring our long-term success, this will result in improved product quality, faster production times and improved stock levels.
“These initiatives reflect our commitment to both quality and customer service.”
Competition overview
How does this competition align with Atlantis Tanks’ goals?
“Our vision is ‘to be the indispensable supplier for liquid storage solutions.’ By highlighting the professionalism and expertise of heating engineers, we reinforce that vision.
“This competition aligns with four of our nine core company values: ‘We Innovate,’ ‘We Collaborate to Succeed,’ ‘We are Industry Experts,’ and ‘We are Fun.’”
What are you hoping to achieve through the competition?
“We want to provide a platform for engineers to showcase their work and demonstrate the importance of high-quality, safe installations. Additionally, this competition will help increase awareness of Atlantis Tanks as a trusted supplier of plastic and steel heating oil storage tanks.”
