Welcome to the forecourt maintenance you can trust
Gilbarco Veeder-Root has provided maintenance services to forecourts in the UK since 1945. Today we are the UK’s largest service provider for fuelling equipment - providing contract maintenance to over 50% of retail forecourts in the UK. We have the largest footprint of field based engineers with over 100 delivering maintenance, installations and other value added services to ensure your forecourt is working at its best. Over 70 years experience as the UK's largest maintenance network.
Gilbarco Veeder-Root understands that uptime of fuel equipment is crucial to the dealer market. We have created a dedicated Dealer Business Unit - a team tasked with providing the best service possible for the particular needs of the dealer market. Our Dealer Service Account Manager ensures that service delivery is achieved in a cost and time efficient manner and that any exceptional issues are resolved promptly using his 20+ years of experience as a field-based engineer.
Not only can we maintain your fuel equipment, we can install your equipment, run wet-stock management services, electrical testing, certification, compliance services and remote diagnostics. Our leasing programmes allow new equipment to be supplied, installed and maintained for a simple monthly fee.
The pillars of our service philosophy are:
Health, Safety and Environment
Our robust HSE program is a mandatory requirement and Gilbarco Veeder-Root operate an industry leading DNV certified system across our organisation. We invest significantly in training and resources to ensure that we prevent personal injury, associate ill health and damage to property and to safeguard the welfare of our associates, customers and the general public, in so far as they come into contact with Gilbarco Veeder-Root or the Company's products.
