Jet saw 19 new sites join its dealer network last year, with a further 30 existing dealers resigning with the firm.

Forecourt firms adopting Jet fuels and fascia in 2025 included JP&S, Borough Park Retail and Ascona Group, together with C Morrison, Tankerford and Rutaba Petroleum. NTS Retail and Park’s of Hamilton were among those resigning.

The firm now has a total of 335 sites across the UK, the vast majority of which (324) are dealer-owned dealer-operated, with a further 11 company-owned dealer-operated locations.

The firm highlights Seevaratnam Muresh transferring 10 sites from Harvest over to Jet last year, and says the operator will add further locations when they become “free from tie”, as the collapse of Prax, owner of the Lindsey oil refinery and Harvest, continues to make its effects felt within the sector.

Notably, while the UK now only has four refineries, one of these, Humber, is owned by Jet’s parent company, Phillips 66, which purchased infrastructure assets from the defunct Lindsey to bolster Humber’s operations.

Jet says its dealer growth is a testament to the firm’s “flexible, people-first approach”, with Phillps 66’s retail manager, UK marketing, Graham Clout commenting:

“Independent dealers operate in different ways depending on their location and customer base. Our role is to listen and shape a package right for them, rather than impose a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether a dealer operates a single site or several, we aim to work closely with them and support decisions that make sense for their business and at a local level within the communities they serve.”
