Certas Energy acquires six forecourts in South Wales

Certas Energy has confirmed the purchase of six forecourts from South Wales company, David Taylor Filling Stations.

The acquisition, for an undisclosed sum, by the Warrington-based operation comes as it continues to grow its Gulf network across the UK.

This latest acquisition follows the recent purchase of two Petromex sites in Lancashire.

“David Taylor Filling Stations presents Certas Energy with a well-run business and an experienced team of people with a fantastic community-orientated ethos,” said Richard Billington, retail director, Certas Energy.

“It’s a very good fit for our business and we are delighted to have now completed the acquisition.

“A strong company-owned network is an ideal complement for our thriving dealer operation,” he said.

Certas Energy is the UK’s largest independent supplier of fuels and lubricants and includes more than 500 Gulf-branded forecourts within its retail portfolio.

The six David Taylor Filling Stations are located in Brecon, Pontypool, Ebbw Vale, Tredegar, Treharris and Tonyrefail, with a combined fuel throughput of 14million litres.
