Industry
Forecourt and Roadside Retail
Overview
Rontec is one of the largest independent roadside retail operators in the UK, managing more than 260 service stations nationwide under the Esso, BP, and Shell brands. Their sites combine fuel, convenience retail, and food-to-go, serving millions of customers every year. With a reputation for growth and innovation in the forecourt sector, Rontec needed a website that could properly reflect their scale, professionalism, and forward-looking approach.
Since 2019, we have been their digital partner, tasked with creating a website that not only looked the part but also functioned as a long-term, reliable hub for information about their operations, partnerships, and community work.
When Rontec first came to us, their website no longer reflected the size and prestige of the business. It felt dated, lacked visual impact, and did not showcase the breadth of their work. Their goals were clear:
-
Modernise their online presence with a design that reflected their leadership in roadside retail.
-
Build a Retail Partners page to highlight collaborations with household names like Costa, Morrisons, Subway, BP, Esso, and Shell.
-
Design an About Us page that communicated their national presence, supported by a UK map graphic and company statistics.
-
Create a Charity Partnerships page that demonstrated their long-standing commitment to charitable giving and community impact, including their “Penny at the Pumps” initiative.
-
Ensure the platform was robust, reliable, and future-proof, supported with managed hosting and ongoing maintenance.
We worked closely with Rontec’s team to deliver a website that combined striking design with practical functionality. Key elements included:
-
A responsive WordPress website, built with a contemporary design aesthetic, bold visuals, and clean navigation to appeal to a wide audience.
-
A custom Retail Partners section showcasing logos and imagery from their most recognised partnerships across fuel, food, and retail, reinforcing their position at the heart of the industry.
-
An engaging About Us page, complete with a map of the UK and key company statistics (service stations, off-licences, HGV-friendly sites, and jet washes) to demonstrate their nationwide reach.
-
A dedicated Charity Partnerships page, highlighting Rontec’s ongoing commitment to supporting local and national causes, with clear details about their initiatives and impact.
-
Full managed hosting and maintenance, ensuring maximum uptime, robust security, and consistent updates.
-
A bold, modern website that transformed Rontec’s digital presence.
-
Clear communication of company scale and heritage, with visuals and stats that highlight their nationwide reach and industry leadership.
-
A platform that showcases major retail and fuel partnerships, helping reinforce Rontec’s credibility in the eyes of both customers and industry peers.
-
A dedicated Charity Partnerships hub, allowing Rontec to demonstrate their values and long-term commitment to giving back.
-
Ongoing managed hosting and maintenance delivering a reliable, secure, and future-proof website.
-
As of 2025, the website remains live and highly effective — standing the test of time both aesthetically and functionally.
Why It Matters
For a company of Rontec’s scale, reputation and perception are everything. Their website is more than just a brochure — it’s a public statement of who they are, who they work with, and what they stand for. By creating a striking, functional platform, we’ve helped them communicate their leadership in roadside retail, strengthen their partnerships with globally recognised brands, and showcase their dedication to charitable giving.
This project illustrates our ability to deliver enterprise-level digital solutions for large organisations, combining creative design with technical reliability, and ensuring that a high-profile brand has a digital presence that matches its market position.
