The rapidly expanding forecourt group Ascona has revealed its third purchase in a month with the acquisition of Wales Bar Service Station on the A618 in Sheffield.

Richard Smith, forecourts specialist at Forecourts4sale, said: “Forecourts4sale Ltd are expanding rapidly and have recently employed two additional members of staff. Our strap line - Honesty, Integrity, Loyalty, Success - hopefully shows current operators and potential buyers what our ethos is and coupled with our competitive fees, discreet approach and total confidentiality, it isn’t surprising why they are proving to be the go to agent of the moment.”
