Company History

The story of Jackman's of Bristol began in 1930 when Glenn Jackman started the Jackman Coal & Coke Company in Bristol. His sons Fred and Glenn Jr. joined the business in the 1940s, and eventually four Jackman brothers were operating fuel businesses in Bristol and Vergennes. Over decades, the company evolved from coal to fuel oil and propane, adapting to Vermont homeowners' changing needs. Fred Jackman became sole owner in 1974, then passed the business to his sons Paul and Peter in 1995. In 2018, Timothy Bouvier and his wife Kristine Evarts Bouvier purchased the company, continuing the Jackman legacy with fresh energy.
