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.

These attributes are instilled in our everyday working lives and provide a platform designed to take us to the next level. Our aim is to be a great place to shop, a great place to work and to remain a great partner to do business with. We also realise that we are never the finished article so, as we grow, we evolve as we acquire new sites, develop the existing ones and explore new partnerships.
