Gulf's UK forecourt business is boosted by the sale of Bayford Oil - operator of the Gulf franchise in the UK - to GB Oils Ltd.
The Gulf brand now becomes part of the largest independent dealer group in the UK with 900 forecourts and Gulf dealers will benefit from an improved distribution network and the all-important reassurance that long term supply is well protected.
With the backing of GB Oils, Gulf is destined to once again become a dominant brand, and, with over 600 company owned tankers, Gulf GB is able to service an expanding customer base almost anywhere in the UK.
