Jet has completed the biggest forecourt transformation in its history

A £3 million project has seen a complete rebuild of the flagship site close to the entrance to owner Phillips 66’s Humber Refinery, from where it is supplied and takes its name.

The result has been described as a “world-class site facility meeting the needs of both HGV and car drivers” It features electric charging points as well as the full range of fuels produced across the A160.

“This has been an immense project - but we couldn’t be happier with the result,” Andrew Smith, service station operator, said. “Being so close to the busy port of Immingham the site has been designed to accommodate both HGVs and cars.

In fact, not only has the site been transformed but the roads that access the site have also been remodelled to make entering and exiting safer and easier. “We even have a separate HGV driver entrance with easy access to the new facilities. It’s an exciting day ‘opening the doors’ and welcoming our customers back!”

Jet Refinery Station was officially opened by long-time village resident and member of the refinery’s community group, Pauline Hull. The parish councillor cut the ribbon alongside Darren Cunningham, lead executive UK and general manager of Humber Refinery, and Renee Semiz, director of Jet Retail UK Ltd.

Ms Semiz said: “This site is exceptional - and future-proofed to meet the changing needs of our customers. “Every aspect of this site and the customer experience has been meticulously considered to produce a facility we can all be immensely proud of. We are a customer-focused business committed to getting our drivers back on the road quickly and safely and this site is equipped to do exactly that.

The site boasts an array of new facilities including a larger HGV loading area, separate retail forecourt, electric vehicle charging, AdBlue facilities plus a large Spar store with food-to-go options.

Mr Cunningham said: “To have the Refinery Station, Jet’s flagship store next door to our refinery is superb. The site transformation has been incredible to watch, and the £3-million investment shows our continued commitment to the area.”
