The last 5 years have seen Penny Petroleum more than double in size and as a company we now have more than 500 employees and work with a range of premium partners including all major fuel brands, Booker and Spar. As the fifth largest independent petrol forecourt operator in the country our size gives us a strong bargaining position, which we use on behalf of our customers.
