Texaco

Following a competitive tender process we were awarded sole supplier status for the UK by leading petroleum giant Texaco.

Considered the ‘go to’ branding partner in the UK for PFS and New Energy brands, astley has been privileged enough to have supported this brand for over a decade now, being entrusted with the branding of their forecourts across the country.

With four strategically located UK sites, we offer true nationwide coverage and the resources to handle even the highest volumes. Our fully trained crews and precision logistical planning, driven by a seasoned project team, ensure every site is delivered on time, to spec, and without compromise. For brands with big visions and bold footprints, we’re the partner that makes it happen.

Following the award of this contract, a comprehensive design and prototyping process began to understand the aesthetic along with the structural complexities of the manufacture. To assist our technical team our design department initially compiled a technical signage manual which included all external, internal and secondary signage designs. Working closely with Texaco and their appointed project management company specifications were approved for manufacture.

One of the reasons astley is the ideal partner for PFS brands is our in-house capability to manufacture BS EN 1090 compliant structural signs such as totems…and to large scale! Not all signmaking partners in the UK hold this accreditation, and as it is a legal requirement, some put the brands they work with at risk.

We were one of the first UK signmakers to identify the value of achieving this accreditation and by keeping this service in-house, we quality control manufacture at all stages and help make the whole process for the client more efficient.

Our teams are all fully trained and qualified to attend and work at these ‘hazardous’ environments, each one holding an SPA Passport. This evidence demonstrates that those working at forecourts have met a nationally agreed standard of safety training, understand core workplace health & safety principles and legal responsibilities, and are aware of specific hazards, risks, and control measures in their industry.

astley has long been considered the ‘go to’ branding partner within the PFS sector, having the capacity to handle large scale BS EN 1090 structural fabrication and with a service that reaches across the entire of the UK. We are also a member of APEA – Association of Petroleum & Explosives Administration
