Oilfast Limited is delighted to announce the forthcoming launch of its first unmanned Retail fuel facility at Balbeggie near Perth. The site, which features the Oilfast logo and image, marks the company’s entry into the UK Roadside Retail market. The company aims to increase its numbers both by attracting dealers to the brand and by acquiring more locations specifically for unmanned use.
Managing Director Tony Stewart commented, “As one of the UK’s largest distributors of fuel, lubricants, AdBlue and fuel cards, we have long seen entry to the retail market as a logical step, and today marks an important milestone in that journey. We believe in the fuels sector and our growth has been marked by our customer service. We know we can offer dealers a much-needed fresh choice for supplying fuels and/or through leasing or acquiring their forecourts. Not all forecourts have large shops or room to expand, and these locations are suited to our unmanned model. It’s not just current trading sites – we are also interested in converting ex-filling stations back to use. That what we have done with Balbeggie and with depots across Scotland as well as Immingham , Kingsbury and London we have a pipeline of prospects and are actively looking for more locations across the UK”.
Oilfast Balbeggie is located just to the north of Perth on the A94 heading to Coupar Angus and was a former Shell branded site which closed years back and converted to car sales and servicing without fuel. The building continues to trade as a garage, but the forecourt has been transformed, as Oilfast have installed two brand new Tokheim Quantium ML pumps plus an AdBlue tank and pump all managed through a self-contained cabinet on site. “We saw potential here, with the new Tay link bridge being built here north of Perth and with us having depots in Forfar and Crieff in this region. It’s a great advert for our business and we have the expertise and model to sell retail fuel competitively. Here customers can fuel or buy AdBlue using debit or credit cards and we have even gone contactless for extra speed and convenience“ says Tony. “We also wanted to provide a full car valeting facility and so a new jet wash, vacuum and airline are all on site.”
The official launch took place on 6th December
