EG On The Move has just made a major move in Europe

EG On The Move has just made a major move in Europe, completing the purchase of 260 petrol forecourt sites across France. For a company already growing fast, this deal marks a bold step forward, signalling its ambition to become a bigger player in one of Europe’s most competitive markets.

With these new sites, EG On The Move gains a strong foundation to invest in better services, smarter operations and more customer‑focused retail experiences.

CEO Zuber Issa described the acquisition as a confident bet on France’s long‑term potential. He emphasised the company’s commitment to improving customer experience, supporting employees and driving sustainable growth.

Now that the deal is complete, EG On The Move is shifting its focus to integrating the newly acquired sites smoothly. The company says it will continue supporting day to day operations while staying committed to its customers and colleagues throughout the transition.

What this means for hiring. This deal is in France, so its direct effect on UK jobs is limited. It is still worth knowing: integrating 260 sites at once is a major operational project, and it shows a fast-growing forecourt and convenience retailer that is still expanding.
