About us

Euro Garages is one of the UK's largest privately-owned forecourt operators.

Each year, we distribute across an expanding portfolio of 84 sites located in the North of England and Midlands and have a turnover of £275 million on a run rate basis.

We strive to offer a high quality experience on each of our forecourts, driven by a commitment to excellent customer service and the provision of added-value services including convenience retail and fast food.

For our partners, we aim to maximise sales through the acquisition of quality new sites, an on-going programme of capital investment of existing sites and best practice management across our portfolio.

See our case studies page for examples of our site redevelopments.

"Euro Garages is a quality independent operator with a hugely innovative approach to the market. Their focus on site investment and operational performance sets them apart. We're keen to support the group's continued expansion as the UK forecourt retailing market consolidates." Dave Allanson, Area Director, Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets

Our history

Euro Garages was founded in 2001 by the Issa family with the acquisition of a single forecourt site in Bury, Lancashire.

Since then, it has acquired an average of 10 sites each year, making it one of the UK's fastest growing operators.

The group's rapid success has been driven by its innovative approach to forecourt trading. It acquires and redevelops under-performing sites in high density locations, optimising fuel volumes and driving additional revenue by offering convenience retail and ancillary services.

Its rate of growth has been recognised by numerous awards, including the Sunday Times Fast Track and Real Business Hot 100 league tables of fastest-growing privately owned companies.

The quality of its management team has also been praised, with Managing Director Zuber Issa recently being named as Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year (northern region).
