FT - Stephen Mulhern set 2

Tonight’s the night when the Forecourt Trader of the Year 2020 and many other winners will be announced at 6.30pm at a ‘virtual’ event hosted on the Forecourt Trader website www.forecourttrader.co.uk.

Master of ceremonies is celebrity TV presenter, magician, writer and actor Stephen Mulhern. See his welcome here.

Stephen Mulhern is described as being one of the most ’in demand’ television presenters today; with a string of smash hit television shows including ’Catchphrase’ and ‘Britain’s Got More Talent’.

His unique style of comedy and presentation has made him one of the best-loved presenters in the country having performed for some of the most recognised people in the world, including Her Majesty The Queen.

Forecourt Trader editor Merril Boulton said: “We are very excited to welcome Stephen Mulhern to the latest Forecourt Trader Awards event. The Forecourt Trader Awards is ‘the’ night in the forecourt calendar when we recognise and celebrate the success of fuel retailers nationwide. It may not be ’Awards Night’ as we know it but after one of the toughest years in living memory, and despite ongoing restrictions, we have done our best to create an amazing backdrop and a taste of the prestige in which these awards are held.”

The most prestigious and respected awards in the UK’s petrol retailing calendar seek out the brightest and best in the industry – those pushing the boundaries of hard work and innovation in the pursuit of excellence, and as in previous years, standards have been extremely high.

There were many categories to enter, covering all types of operation from rural operations to motorway sites; including specialist categories including Best Site Manager and Best Customer Service.
