Sayle Oil. Company recognized at Soiree

Senatobia, Miss. — Sayle Oil Company will be recognized with the Outstanding Corporation Award at the Northwest Soiree: A Garden Gala on April 18, celebrating the company’s decades of service and commitment to Northwest Mississippi Community College.

Founded in 1947 by World War II veteran Isaac E. Sayle, the family business began as a small full‑service station before rebuilding from a devastating fire and expanding steadily across generations. Under the leadership of President and CEO Isaac W. “Ike” Sayle, the company has grown into a comprehensive petroleum supplier offering fuel delivery, convenience stores, propane and quick‑lube services.

Sayle said the award reflects the dedication of both his family and employees. “Thank you to Northwest for this honor. It goes to my family and employees,” he said. “Our plan is to remain actively involved with the College, support the Northwest Foundation and maintain open communication so we can assist whenever possible.”

The Garden Gala will be held at the Heindl Center for the Performing Arts. Event details are available at www.northwestms.edu/soiree, and tickets may be purchased at www.heindlcenter.org/soiree2026.
