JET grows Scottish footprint with two Highland Fuels additions

The deal brings JET's Scottish network to 50 branded sites, 12 of them supplied through Highland Fuels.

JET has added two more forecourts to its Scottish network through Highland Fuels, its authorized branded retail distributor working with Phillips 66. Drum of Wartle Filling Station near Inverurie and Craigellachie Filling Station in Moray have both converted to JET branding, having switched over from Gleaner. Drum of Wartle becomes JET's first site in Aberdeenshire, while Craigellachie marks the brand's second in Moray.

Drum of Wartle, acquired earlier this year by Buccaneer Fuels Limited, has been redeveloped into a larger Premier convenience store serving both locals and passing traffic. Craigellachie, situated in Speyside's whisky country, offers a Londis shop, a Costa Coffee, pay-at-the-pump availability, a 50kW EV charger, and a car valet service.

Colin White, Director of Craigellachie Filling Station, called the switch to JET "one of the best decisions the business has made," citing dependable supply and a partnership that feels collaborative rather than purely transactional.

Ian Burgess, Retail Sales Representative at Highland Fuels, said the additions reflect independently run sites with a strong local identity, adding that understanding each site's role in its community is central to making the arrangement work.

Paul Yates, Retail Account Manager for Scotland at Phillips 66, noted the deal brings JET's Scottish network to 50 branded sites, 12 of them supplied through Highland Fuels' distributor arrangement, and highlighted how a solid forecourt and convenience offer paired with a recognized fuel brand can be tailored to local needs.
