JET ADDS 10 ASCONA SITES

JET HAS TODAY ANNOUNCED THAT 10 NEW ASCONA-OWNED SITES WILL BE JOINING ITS GROWINGNATIONWIDE NETWORK OF JET BRANDED DEALER SITES.

Major fuel supply brand JET has today confirmed that it has added 10 new Ascona-owned sites to its network, further strengthening its relationship with the roadside retailer.

JET currently supplies Ascona Group, one of the fastest growing independent forecourt operators in the UK, at three sites: Fyfield Service Station in Marlborough; Jack Service Station in Stoke-on-Trent and Deepcar Service Station near Sheffield – a relatively new joiner having signed up to the network last November.

The 10 new sites, mainly in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Warwickshire, will provide depth and strength in these areas – boosting JET’s total portfolio of UK JET dealer sites to more than 300. And with Ascona sites now numbering 13 and with the potential for further sites in the future, Ascona is fast becoming one of JET’s largest retail customers.

Commenting on the decision to move to JET, Darren Briggs, MD, Ascona Group says: “JET provides an industry-leading fuel supply package and together with their new JET brand image, is recognised in the industry for great value and service. They are the perfect partner for Ascona as we continue to expand our operations in the UK via both organic and acquisitive growth and focus on building best-in-class retail roadside destinations that cater to changing customer needs.”

Working closely with Ascona, the 10 sites will be rebranded and repumped including two knock-down and rebuilds.

The licensed supply contract with Ascona Group is in place until 2026.
