Nottingham-based law firm Freeths provided legal expertise for the sale of Applegreen’s network of 98 petrol stations to Zuber Issa, CEO of EG On The Move.

The sale ensured the retention of all 1,142 UK-based roles at Applegreen stations, bringing EG On The Move’s workforce to 4,500 employees.

Applegreen, which has a presence across Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, will finalise the sale by the end of the month.

The acquisition will increase EG On The Move’s network to nearly 150 sites, which includes electric vehicle fast charging and franchise offerings.

The transaction was expertly handled by Freeths’ Real Estate partner Atiyya Khaliq, supported by managing associates Michaela Mason and Zac Clayton and associate Sam De La Bertauche.

Khaliq said: “As a long-standing client, it’s always a pleasure to support the team with its ongoing strategic growth. This deal secures a wider presence across the South of England, cementing its position as a leader within the market.”
