UK: Jet network expands with 12 new sites
Fuel brand Jet has added 12 sites to its network which are the Ormlie Filling Station in Thurso, Brierley Service Station in Gloucestershire, an MRH site in Grimsby and nine new sites in the northeast region thanks to a deal with KSC Worldwide, the company said in a statement issued in late June.
“We’d been with our previous fuel supplier for five years and felt it was time to enhance and refresh our sites. Although we spoke to three major brands, Jet offered us a competitive deal and is a well-known, trusted local brand (with around 25% marketing share in our area). This, combined with the refinery down the coast offering a secure and flexible supply gave us confidence that Jet is the right choice for us. Our sites have been quickly and expertly rebranded,” said Chirayu Patel, finance director at KSC.
“Securing KSC’s nine sites in the north east further demonstrates our commitment to the region. The sites are a great mixture of smaller community-based and larger high volume traffic sites on main routes,” added Carl Smaller, Jet’s territory manager for Immingham North & East.
The Ormlie Filling Station in Thurso is owned by Simpson Oils, one of the largest fuel distributors in the far north of Scotland and a longstanding wholesale customer of Phillips 66, the release added.
Jet is a leading fuel brand marketed by Phillips 66 Company in the UK and other EU countries, with a well-established network of more than 350 independently-operated service stations throughout the UK, said Hugh Simpson, director of Simpson Oils.
Jet, established in 1954, offers fuel as well as a wide range of value-added forecourt services.
