“A lot has changed since those daysof attended service and four star, not

least of which, our location has‘morphed’ from being in Kent toMedway!

“Four Elms ‘South’ gained a sibling in1981 when, due to the new dualcarriageway being built, anopportunity arose to acquire land onthe opposite side of the new road andon this land we built Four Elms‘North’, a petrol station andmechanical workshop.

“In late 1981, we redeveloped theoriginal South site solely as a petrolforecourt and this was later expandedto include our first Bodyshop whichwas opened in 1988.

“ In 1994, we purchased the land forour third site, Holborough ServiceStation, and this Jet branded petrol

station opened its doors in 1995. Thissite, as a result of new businessopportunities, was sold in September2008.

“Soon after the opening ofHolborough, my father took semi-retirement, at which point I took overthe day-to-day running of thecompany. Further expansioncontinued when, in 2001, we doubledthe size of the Bodyshop atChattenden. To react to the everchanging market and the need to givegreater coverage to our insurerpartners, we purchased our secondbodyshop, Four Elms (Whitstable), inMarch 2007.

“In early 2008, we invested heavily inthe redevelopment of the SouthForecourt Shop and installed newTokheim pumps, which have recentlybeen replicated, together with adedicated HGV lane and pump at our‘North’ site. As the only road to thebusy Thamesport on the Isle of Grain,this enables us to cater perfectly forthese ‘big-rigs’.

“Company-wide, we have also madesubstantial investment in a wide rangeof new equipment, computer systemsand software to keep us at theforefront of the forecourt andbodyshop businesses.

“Today, Four Elms now owns andoperates two Jet branded servicestations, two accident repair centersand a mechanical workshop, all in allemploying over 60 staff.”

We understandthe value of abrand“Ever since I can remember, Four Elmshas been proudly branded Jet, fromthe very old yellow and black, throughorange and brown, various yellow andblue versions to today’s logo.

“I think a mainstream, immediatelyrecognisable and trusted brand

identity is a strong positive for anybusiness, especially in this day andage. The Jet brand has heritage, it’swell known and you could even sayiconic; it offers our customers a feelingof security and trust, coupled with itsfriendly and local values.

“Carrying that idea through, our shopsare Spar branded, our workshopBosch branded and we have recentlyre-branded our bodyshops ‘Fix-Auto’ -a national group of independentbodyshops. Brand values and all theystand for really matters in our business!

Taking thepartnership toforty years“My father signed up to the Jet brandin 1977, in the midst of the oil crises ofthe era, as he believed it offered aperfect fit for our business back then.Today I still feel the same as my fatherdid almost four decades ago. We’vehad a long relationship with Jet whosemindset is to work with us to ourmutual benefit. Some of the other bigfuel brands come over as beingsomewhat dictatorial. With Jet it feelslike a partnership offering the personaltouch, approachability and a feeling ofbelonging, which I like. So when itcame to the time to consider our nextfive-year fuel supply deal, I had littlehesitation in re-signing to take us tothe ‘big 40’ milestone together.

Jet’sethos is oneof mutualbenefit.

We’ve had along relationshipwhich I was onlytoo pleased toextend to take us to forty yearstogether.

Professionalism,loyalty andbusiness culture“We follow the belief that goodbusiness is generated by earning thesupport and loyalty of localcustomers. Professional,knowledgable and friendly staff reallymake a difference but predominantlywe believe in loyalty. At Four Elms webelieve that this value, above allothers, should be kept at the forefrontof all of our business relationships.

“Our business culture has been builton loyalty. We have retained excellentbusiness relationships with oursuppliers and, as such, we in turnbenefit from prompt service, qualityproducts and preferential terms,ensuring that we can pass these onto our customers. We have remaineda loyal Jet customer now forapproaching 40 years and this hasmeant consistency for our customerswhich has in turn benefited us byproviding a strong brand image forour company.

“We place a high value on employeesat all levels and we actively encourageemployee interaction across manylevels; our culture is adaptable, andwe have adjusted to the challengingeconomic conditions that arecurrently at the forefront of everyone’smind to enable us to retain our staff

and continue to be successful as acompany. Above all we try to beconsistent, treating all employeesequally and fairly.

“In maintaining a positive businessculture, we feel that this has ultimatelyled to higher morale and the workenvironment being more enjoyable,with increased teamwork, anopenness to new ideas and sharingof information. This facilitates learningand continuous improvement and italso helps attract and retain goodemployees at all levels.

“Four Elms is committed to trainingand investing in our staff and this isreflected by the number of longstanding employees within thecompany. We strongly believe thatour commitment to training andinternal promotion has contributedgreatly to staff motivation and, as aresult, to the high standards andservice that we expect in all areas ofour business.

“Jet’s service and standards initiativehas greatly assisted our levels ofcustomer service throughout ourforecourts and provides an excellentbenchmark towards even betterperformance goals. This has beenborne out in our winning Jet’s regional‘aim-hi’ award not once, but twice!

“Our Health and Safety, social andenvironmental responsibility is alsotaken very seriously. With theassistance of the Jet brand andthrough its training programmes, wehave been able to add weight to ourexisting policies and as a result raisedthe profile of health and safetythroughout the organisation and thisis evident looking at our improvedyear-on-year Suresite audit results.

“Loyalty is the predominant value inthe Four Elms group and I lookforward to the day when we canboast of running a successful Jetbranded business for half a century”,concluded Robert.

Jet’s Par Petroleum top the leader boardto scoop the renowned FPS Depot of theYear Award for the fifth time

It’s another ‘major’ win for ParPetroleum who posted an ‘under-Par’ score no-one else could matchto take the coveted FPS Depot of theYear title for an astonishing fifth time.

The feeling of deja-vous is apparentas we stand in front of ParPetroleum’s loaded ‘trophy cabinet’,resplendent with five Depot of theYear glass obelisks. Simon RoyToole, Operations Director and hissister Leanne Hardy, FinanceDirector, take up the story.

Simon joked: “There’s more in herethan in Sunderland Football Club’scabinet”; his allegiance being toNewcastle’s black and white, ratherthan to their red and white local rivals.

Joking apart and sporting analogiesaside, Par’s story is a remarkable one.Simon and Leanne’s parents, Peterand Carol Roy-Toole, developed thefuel distribution business we knowtoday some 23 years ago building onthe family heritage dating back over a century ago when Peter’s grandfather’s sold coal from the back of a horse and cart.

Today, Par Petroleum is a leadingsupplier of fuel, lubricants and solidfuel for homes, businesses andmarine vessels across the North Eastand beyond. As a family runbusiness, they take great pride intheir ability to go that little bit furtherto meet the exact needs of theircustomers, every time.

Whilst their parents still are verymuch involved in the business, day today operations are now run byLeanne and Simon. Picking up thebusiness baton from your parentsmay be quite a challenge, but ‘the kids’ seem to have

inherited their parents drive anddynamism; not to mention the abilityto pick up a trophy or two!

As FPS Depot of the Year winners in2005, ‘06, ‘08, ‘11 and ‘13, youcould forgive them for thinking theyhave the recipe for success spot onand start resting on their laurels, butas Leanne explains, that is far fromthe case.

Page 13: In Touch · shows, forecourt retailing, if you could actually call it that, was a very different ‘beast’ from today’s modern, multi-faceted sites. My father purchased a small

“Our mantra is one of continuousimprovement. We are alwaysplanning our next update andupgrade to our infrastructure,vehicles and business processes.Excellent record keeping and backroom support is crucial to makingsure everything runs smoothly.

“Winning the FPS Depot of the Yearaward again is really pleasing andmakes all of the hard workworthwhile. What is particularlyspecial is the fact that each of ourfive successes have been audited bydifferent independent adjudicators.The fact that they individually andcollectively share the same opinionmust mean we are doing somethingright. On each of our five audits ourscore has increased, which againshows our policy of continuousimprovement is manifesting itself intoday in, day out operations.

“Each auditor leaves us with theircomments and recommendations as

to how we can further develop oursafety, environmental andoperational standards. From thereit’s quite simple really as we look toimplement what they’ve said toensure we develop the business aseffectively as possible.”

One new development for ParPetroleum has been their winningthe Phillips 66 Road Marine contract,which means they are currently busymoving Marine fuel up and down theUK from refineries and terminals to amultitude of ports where vessels aredocked.

Simon says: “Winning the Phillips 66Marine business helps even out theseasonal peaks and troughs in thefuel distribution business. We nowoperate 17 vehicles from 44 tonneartics to our domestic mini tankerand have the capability to supplyand transport almost every type of fuel, whenever and wherever it’srequired.

“We are very much aware that thetype of work we do, for the kind of‘big businesses’ we do it for,requires exacting standards. Tocompete against major players in themarketplace, our point of differenceas a smaller family run business hasto be safety and service orientatedwith a can-do attitude.

“Good professionalism and excellentcustomer service costs nothing andcan reap great rewards; as such,winning the Depot of the Year isrecognition of that fact and means alot to us all here at Par Petroleum.”

“I’m delighted to announce thesethree great businesses have re-signed and committed to us at Jet.This reinforces our presence in theSouth West ‘off-grid’ marketplace,offering long-term, sustainablesecurity of supply which is a crucialfactor in the region which has limitedmains gas.”

Concluding, Paul said: “Ourrelationship with all three companieshas always been very good natured,professional and mutually beneficial.It’s one I look forward to continuingwell into the future, working together,fuelling success, as our saying goes!”

Mick begins: “In our job, which hasmany potential hazards, excellencehas to come as standard; plain andsimple. Our business culture is onewhere safety is of paramountimportance and all that we do isbuilt around that primary objective.

“As such, we place great importanceon a range of initiatives intended tostrengthen and indeed expand thatculture; driving excellence.

“Remarkably, 19 Suckling driversrecorded scores of 100%. In fact,the overall average was 96.3%,which bodes remarkably well interms of drivers embracing safetyperformance as a priority. As a tie-break, the number of driver safetyobservation cards submitted cameinto play and for the first time inseven years, the sequence of Shellcontract winners was broken byPhillips 66 Coryton contract driver,Tim Bowden, who won £300.

“There was more good news from aPhillips 66 perspective as PhilStrachan, based at our WestLondon depot, picked up third spottogether with £100 for himself.”

1mKm Challenge“Another initiative constan tly runningis our one million kilometre (1mKm)challenge, which, as the namesuggests, challenges each of our 11operating centres to drive a millionkilometres without incident oraccident. Once the milestone isachieved, the company donates£1,000 to their chosen charity.”Phillips 66 drivers from bothCoryton and West London are ‘wellon the road to further success’.

Safety talks“Safety is not confined to the openroad at Sucklings”, Mick continues.“Our drivers attend quarterly safetytalks covering a wide variety oftopics. This time around, for Phillips 66 drivers, it’s customercare, spillages and safety statistics.

“Our office based staff aren’t left outeither as they take part in focusgroups which make significantimprovements to our KeyPerformance Indicators (KPI’s).Every aspect of our performance ismeasured and analysed with a viewto betterment”, Mick signed off.

In 2012, we completed a number ofsurveys with our customers to look intothe services that Phillips 66 UK &Ireland Marketing provide. The aim ofthis was to gauge the performance ofPhillips 66 and how, going forward, wecan continue to monitor and improvethese areas to provide exceptionalcustomer service.

We found that one of the areas causingconcern was the operation and serviceat some of our terminals (IPC, Bramhalland Kingsbury). The absence of adedicated member of our team to dealwith driver loading card requests, truckentry, indemnity and loading issueswas affecting the operating efficiency ofboth our customers and Phillips 66.

In response to these concerns, and inorder to minimise the issues ourcustomers had previously beenexperiencing, we are pleased to let youknow that we have recently employeda dedicated member of staff to sitonsite at the IPC terminal.

EddyHoulton hasjoined ourteam as aTerminalOperationsCoordinatorwho is ableto deal with

the loading cards, truck entry, driverinduction and offer advice directly to

customers onsite. Eddy is looking afterrequests for all our terminals andthrough his role, which is solelydesigned to respond to these queries,we are already seeing an improvementin the operating efficiency at the racksand a vast reduction in the number offailed loadings.

As an organisation, we are pleased tobe able to respond positively to theconcerns of our customers and toimplement a solution that resolves theimmediate issues customers havebeen experiencing, with scope todevelop further solutions for continuedimprovement in the service we offer.

We hear you...
