Established in 2002, Valli Forecourts is a family owned business based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. The company originated when brothers Haroon and Farook became commission operators in 1993, taking on sites with Margram, Shell and Esso. The turning point was in 2002 when BP decided to sell their network. Valli Forecourts was established with the acquisition of four sites and then a further two within months. The rest, as they say, is history! Valli Forecourts currently operates a diversified portfolio of 15 petrol forecourts and convenience stores throughout England, from Birmingham to Stockton-on-Tees and in between.
Since 2008, Valli Forecourts have undertaken a massive investment programme. Almost all of the 15 petrol forecourts and convenience stores have been knocked down and re-built. In its place now stands a fresh, modern, state of the art, large forecourt (up to 1 acre) and convenient store (up to 3,000 sq ft) with lots of parking, great valeting offer, ATM and food-to-go outlets such as Subway and Costa.
Over the years Valli Forecourts have sought strategic, well known brand partners that would compliment their business and have teamed up with the likes of BP, Shell, Spar, Costa and Subway to name a few. All the forecourts, stores and subways operate 24/7, 365 days a year. Valli Forecourts employs over 250 personnel and provides a quality and 'best in class' service to over 200,000 customers a week. Valli Forecourts have recently re-developed their sites in Castle Bromwich, Birmingham and Bawtry, Doncaster which were completed in 2019.
In addition, Valli Forecourts hopes to bring 5 more sites to its group in 2020/21.
