The company that owns Petrogas UK has reported a 12% increase in sales for last year despite "tough trading conditions and tightening fuel margins". In its annual results for 2013, Petrogas Global said turnover rose to 804.5m from 717.3m in 2012. Pre-tax profit rose to 10.1m from 5.8m in 2012.

Chief executive Bob Etchingham said: "The trading performance in 2013 was particularly commendable given the tough competitive environment in both Ireland and the UK, and tightening fuel margins in the second half of the year."
