Motor Fuel Group selects Gilbarco Veeder-Root for the maintenance of their network

Basildon, 24.06.13 - Motor Fuel Group has awarded Gilbarco Veeder-Root a three-year maintenance contract for their network of 58 sites.

After an open-tender process, Gilbarco Veeder-Root was selected as Motor Fuel Group's preferred provider because of their cost-effective solution, unrivalled UK coverage and industry-leadership in health and safety.

Gilbarco Veeder-Root will provide full service and maintenance of all Motor Fuel Group sites as well as supply and install all new tank-gauging and fuel-dispensing equipment. The contract includes 24/7/365 emergency call-out, proactive maintenance on all fuel-dispensers, automatic tank-gauging equipment, delivery control devices (DCDs), accident damage protection and regular Key Performance Indicator reports.

Forecourt maintenance is becoming increasingly important as both site owners and their customers are faced with tough economic conditions. Planned preventative maintenance on forecourts pre-empts potential faults and maximises uptime; ensuring end-customers are satisfied and sites are compliant with health, safety and environmental guidelines and licensing legal requirements.

Jeremy Clarke, Managing Director at Motor Fuel Group says: "The potential loss of customers avoiding the forecourt because equipment is not available can have a significant impact on forecourt revenues and profits. We trust Gilbarco Veeder-Root will help ensure forecourt uptime is maximised throughout the network. "

Dave Coombe, Managing Director at Gilbarco Veeder-Root, states: "Our expertise in the forecourt industry and team of over 120 service engineers throughout the UK enable us to provide the most comprehensive service and help reduce our customers' challenges."

Gilbarco Veeder-Root is the largest service provider in the UK with more than 120 engineers and 65 approved contractors. Their team of engineers is monitored via GPS tracking, enabling dynamic scheduling to ensure rapid local support. Additionally, the inventory of each service van is profiled to its region with a 24-hour nationwide turnaround on spare parts to maximise First Time Fix rate and site uptime.
