LONDON, June 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ —
Shell U.K. Limited today agreed to acquire 254 petrol retail sites in the UK from Rontec Investments LLP (the Snax 24 Consortium) for a total cash consideration of around $400million (£240million), bringing competitively priced quality fuels to more customers across the UK.
“The deal with the Snax 24 Consortium fits Shell’s global Downstream strategy of pursuing opportunities in selected markets where we see prospects for growth,” said Mark Williams, Downstream Director.
“Shell is pleased to be investing in our retail business in the UK, a very competitive market,” said John Bullock, Shell’s Executive Vice-President, Retail. “With this improved network of petrol stations , Shell will be able to provide more people with a top quality customer offer including quality branded fuels, in a convenient location and at a competitive price, helping us compete for the long term.”
The deal with the Snax 24 Consortium marks the biggest single expansion of Shell’s petrol station network in the UK, where the company has marketed quality fuels to motorists for nearly 100 years. Most recently, UK motorists responded positively to Shell’s new regular fuel, Shell FuelSave, which was introduced in 2010 to complement Shell’s premium fuels offer Shell V-Power.
The addition of the new stations – which are mostly in the Midlands and South East of England and fit well with Shell’s existing national network – will enhance Shell’s position as a leading fuels retailer in the UK, with 1,150 stations.
Completion of the agreement is expected around year-end subject to the satisfaction of regulatory and other conditions.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
