The purchase of three BP and three Shell forecourts means that MFG now operates 911 forecourts across the UK – reinforcing its position as the nation’s biggest independent group.

William Bannister, chief executive officer at MFG, said: “AUK is a well-respected family business and the six stations that we have purchased give us the opportunity to extend our network coverage into Cumbria in what is normally a thriving tourist area.

“We will, in-line with our standard business model, improve the shop offer for customers and introduce a food-to-go option where appropriate to help ensure the sites become a destination for both the local community and visiting tourists.”
