JET welcomes two new sites to its Scottish network

JET has further strengthened its Scottish presence with two new JET sites joining the network: Lochbroom Filling Station in Ullapool and Contin Filling Station in Contin, Strathpeffer.

Highland Fuels, a longstanding JET-branded Authorised Distributor in Scotland, has won the contract to directly supply Phillips 66 fuels to both sites, using the JET brand under licence from Phillips 66.

The sites, which are owned by independent dealer, Alistair Fraser, have just been fully re-imaged in the latest JET brand and have their own convenience stores. Located on the A835, both sites attract a mix of transient and local customers. Lochbroom is located on the main road on the approach in to Ullapool, close to the ferry terminal, while Contin is more transient with a small amount of local village custom. Both sites attract a lot of seasonal tourist trade due to their location.

Under the new supply agreement, fuel volumes at Lochbroom’s are anticipated to rise from 2.35 to 2.5 mlpa, with Contin’s expected to rise from 1.15 to 1.3mlpa.

“This is an exciting development for JET in Scotland. Highland Fuels has a very strong presence in the region as a reputable supplier, so the agreement for them to offer the JET brand to dealers under licence out of the Inverness terminal is a natural extension to their existing business,” said Paul Yates, JET’s Retail Accounts Manager for Scotland.

Highland Fuels themselves have 15 forecourts across Scotland, four of which are JET-branded. The company also supplies dealer sites across Scotland under the Thames and Highland Fuels brands.

JET is a leading fuel brand marketed by Phillips 66 Ltd in the UK, with a well-established network of more than 330 independently-operated service stations throughout the UK.
