JET has continued to strengthen its dealer network into 2026, building on momentum from 2025, when 19 sites joined the network and 30 dealers chose to re-tie. The brand says that growth reflects its focus on reliability, flexibility and personal service, with independent dealers also awarding JET an 86% customer satisfaction score and a 5/5 rating for Retail Account Managers in 2025*.
That momentum is now being reflected in the East of England, where six sites across Essex, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire have recently joined or renewed long-standing ties with the brand through a mix of both new-to-brand wins and re-ties.
This six-site story reflects three distinct dealer journeys: K&S Fuels Limited has brought Harlow and Epping into the network after JET stepped in to supply the business following the Prax insolvency; brothers-in-law Siva and Vijai have strengthened long-standing family ties to JET through Fordham, Starthill and North Terrace; and Bourne Bridge has joined the network and delivered a significantly expanded shop and stronger retail offer for its local community.
K&S Fuels Limited brings Harlow and Epping Service Stations to JET following the Prax insolvency
Harlow Service Station and Epping Service Station, both operated by K&S Fuels Limited, have joined the JET network following a challenging period linked to the Prax insolvency last year. Both sites were previously part of the Harvest / TotalEnergies network. During that period, JET stepped in to supply K&S Fuels and help provide continuity for dealer Riqbal Sidhu, known as Rocky.
Rocky, Director, K&S Fuels Limited, said: “The support JET gave us during a challenging time made a real difference. They were there when we needed them and worked with us in a practical and straightforward way. That level of support, alongside a reliable supply offer, made this the right move for us – and the reimaged JET branding looks amazing.”
Long-standing family relationship supports Fordham, Starthill and North Terrace
Fordham Service Station is a new-to-JET site, owned through Arun Capital Ltd by brothers-in-law Siva Kumarasamy and Vijai Sakthivel, who both have long-standing independent relationships with JET.
Fordham now sits alongside Starthill Service Station, owned by Siva, which has been with the JET network since 2006, and North Terrace, owned by Vijai, which has been with the brand since 1991 and in Vijai’s ownership since 2015. Together, the three sites reflect continued confidence in the JET retail brand, combining two long-standing relationships with the addition of a new site within the same wider family network.
Siva and Vijai said: “We have worked with JET for many years and that relationship has always been built on trust and personal service. As family businesses, that matters to us. Naina, our Retail Account Manager, gives us a genuine sense that JET understands how we operate and what matters to us locally. Bringing Fordham into the network alongside Starthill and North Terrace felt like a natural next step.”
Bourne Bridge adds retail growth story in Ipswich
Bourne Bridge Service Station, operated by D Cannon Limited, joined the JET network on 1 April as an ex-Harvest site. Since moving to JET, the site has invested in further development, with the Shop&Go store reconfigured and doubled in size, creating a stronger retail proposition alongside its forecourt offer.
Veluppillai Sivarajah, known as Raj, Director, D Cannon Limited, said: “JET stepped in to support us when we needed it, and Naina is always at the end of the phone. Moving to JET also gave us an opportunity to improve the shop and create a better overall offer for our customers. JET has supported our next stage of development and given us a platform to keep building.”
JET says East of England growth reflects strength of dealer relationships
Naina Patel, Retail Account Manager, UK Marketing, Phillips 66 Limited, said: “What links these sites to JET is a shared belief in meaningful relationships. It’s about listening, understanding what matters to our dealers and responding in a way that supports their business and their customers. That is exactly how we want to grow the JET brand, while always delivering the personal service we pride ourselves on.”
Including recent additions, the JET network now currently totals 336 sites across the UK, comprising 325 dealer-owned, dealer-operated sites and 11 company-owned, dealer-operated locations. JET says it will continue to take a long-term approach to network development, with a focus on supporting independent dealers in ways that work for their individual businesses, customers and local communities.
