UK: MFG appoint new managing director

Top 50 Indies forecourt operator, Motor Fuel Group (MFG) has announced the appointment of Michael O’Loughlin as its new managing director, acquisitions & business development.

Michael O’Loughlin joins MFg after leading Applegreen´s business in the UK. One of his main focuses as managing director for MFG will be to support the continued growth of the “food to go” area.

“The company’s rapid growth over a very short period of time is an indication of the dedication and drive of the whole team. I’m really looking forward to playing my part in the successful and dynamic model they operate,” said O´Loughlin.

In 2008 he relocated to the UK to establish Applegreen’s UK business. As managing director, he grew this venture into a company with 75 sites.

MFG is the second largest independent forecourt operator in the UK. It has 413 stations operating under the BP, Shell, Texaco, JET and Murco fuel brands.

Last week the company signed a partnership with ChargePoint for the roll-out of forecourt electric vehicle charging across their UK network.
