Highlights
FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY: Environmental action
The word sustainability means different things to different people. One dictionary definition for it is: “The avoidance of the depletion of natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance”.
SERVICE CENTRE: Having the energy to fight. How a forecourt operator was bumped from one costly tariff to another by YU Energy
Johnny Srikrishna, who owns Ashdene Service Station (Shell/Budgens) on the A21 near Etchingham in East Sussex, has a considerable bone to pick with YU Energy.
MONEY TALK: Retail crime – it’s time for forecourt operators to have a fundamental re-think
It’s an expensive, persistent and growing issue affecting forecourt operators and their staff: crime – whether we’re talking shoplifting, drive-offs or no means of payment (NMoP). But does it have to be this way?
TECH TALK: Government ‘fuel finder scheme’ must be designed to benefit motorist

It will mean retailers having to completely rethink how they stock and merchandise the category, not unlike when the ban on displaying tobacco products took effect some years back.
