UK: JET secures 58 new locations through five year supply deal with MFG
Fuel brand JET is moving ahead with its expansion plans thanks to a deal with one of the UK's leading independent forecourt operators, Motor Fuel Group, according to a company press release.
The deal sees 58 sites from MFG’s purchase of Murco’s retail business join the JET network, taking the total number of MFG sites supplied by JET to 68.
The original ten MFG sites supplied by JET are spread from Southampton in the south to Glasgow in the north, while the additional sites are located throughout Scotland, Humberside, Yorkshire, Midlands and the South East. The bulk of these new sites will be supplied from JET’s supply points at Immingham, Kingsbury and Thames.
The new five year supply contract will commence on 1st April 2015 with all sites due to be branded by the end of May 2015.
“Our relationship with JET stretches back to 2011 and since then we’ve established a very positive working partnership,” said Jim Mulheran, fuels director at MFG.
Pete George, Managing Director of Phillips 66 UK & Ireland Marketing, adds: “We’ve made no secret of our plans to expand our network – setting a target of 400 sites by 2018 – so to win a quarter of MFG’s available sites is a real coup for everyone here at JET. This latest win takes the total number of JET sites to over 350. There are further site wins expected, he added.
