AN independent forecourt in Dundee has become the latest to receive Jet’s new branding after signing a re-tie deal with the fuel supplier for the next five years.
There are currently 50 Jet forecourts in Scotland, and 21 have received the new livery, which includes illuminated pole signs, canopy pods and under-canopy lighting, designed to improved the look at night-time and reduce costs. The package also includes new uniforms.
Sebastian Nonis, owner of the Forfar Road site, has been with Jet, the retail brand of oil firm Phillips 66, for 10 years.
During that time he has faced intense competition from new supermarket developments, expanded his convenience store with Booker Premier and fought hard to price-match the giants on petrol.
On signing for the third time with Jet, he said: “I’m a people person and I like it when someone comes to the office to discuss things. Jet doesn’t feel like a huge company to me because I can always speak to someone.”
Paul Yates, Jet territory manager for Scotland, said: “We want to expand our sign-up numbers, get more sites on board and make them part of the Jet family.”
