International Forecourt & Fuel Equipment Show 2010

Harvest Energy, the UK's largest independent supplier of road fuels, is delighted to announce the signing of a fifth site with independent dealer group Sectorsure.

The new site is situated on the Seven Sisters Road, in London, opposite Finsbury Park, and will be fully branded to Harvest Energy in time for Christmas.

This will be the fourth site in the London area within a 10 mile radius of three other Harvest Energy sites, situated at: Neasden lane, Cricklewood Broadway and Goldhawk Road, and will bring the total of Harvest Energy branded sites up to 9, with sites already signed up for 2010.

Mike Skinner, Retail Sales Manager for Harvest Energy says, "We are all really pleased that Sectorsure have chosen Harvest Energy again for this newly acquired site, it shows that they are clearly happy with the relationship and are committed to extending this further. The Finsbury Park site is a large site in a great location, which has excellent potential for growth.

"It's been an exciting year and the last few weeks have seen a marked upturn in enquiries". Continues Skinner, "Coupled with this latest signing and our current recruitment for Retail Sales Managers, I am extremely confident that our organic growth within the forecourt sector will continue apace during 2010"

Andrew MacDonald, Managing Director of the Sectorsure Group says "We were in a better position to judge how successful the Harvest Energy brand has been over the past year on our four existing Harvest Energy sites, we had absolutely no hesitation in applying the same principals to Park Service Station. If dealers want a committed approach from a dedicated team of professionals, if they want a brand that the public love and if they want the potential to earn more from their sites, this really is a straight forward choice"

Harvest Energy's Head of Sales and Logistics, Simon Davis adds: ""I am delighted that the Sectorsure Group have decided to sign another site with us; this helps to reinforce our track record, demonstrates our commitment to our dealers, and will be a great start to 2010.

We already have some exciting plans for the year, starting with the sponsorship of the International, Fuel and Forecourt show 2010. This will include the sponsorship of the show entrance, the show bags, badges and lanyards, all of which will be emblazoned with the Harvest Energy image. We had some great feedback and comments on our striking stand this year, and are already planning the design for next year, which will have a very prominent location at the forefront of the show".

Davis continues, "We are keen to show the independent retailer just what Harvest Energy can offer to improve their business; we have a visually strong and quality brand, which is combined with all of the usual services offered by the majors, tailored in a flexible package to suit the independents' business"

Davis concludes, "we are currently recruiting for two additional Retail Sales Managers, one based in Scotland and the other based in Home Counties / East Anglia, to help expand our presence and to develop the Harvest Energy brand and offer to retailers across the UK. 2010 promises to be a very exciting year".
