2026 Programme
For the 2026 summit, we will deliver a programme that engages, inspires and informs. With a full cast of experts reflecting on all aspects of the forecourt convenience business, the programme will include the latest insight on the sector, including market updates, as well as exclusive research into the thoughts and behaviours of forecourt customers nationwide.
From fuel to food to go, this panel is looking at the challenges operators face in running profitable forecourts, and areas which are currently improving margins, in a market which is transitioning to the shop and add-on services being just as important as the petrol and diesel sold.
Talk from Sarah Dunning the chair of Westmorland Group, owner of the renowned Tebay Services and Gloucester Services, on the challenges of dealing with local suppliers, recruiting staff with a backdrop of being unable to match the big players on wages, by offering initiatives like hardship funds, and the development of Tatton Services in Cheshire.
Using technology, innovative ideas and an engaged workforce to safeguard the future.
The growth areas and opportunities for a fast evolving forecourt sector.
