CBE Attend ReFuel Forum UK 2025

ReFuel Forum UK 2025 proved to be an impactful and forward-thinking gathering of industry leaders and innovators. Day One delivered a compelling blend of thought-provoking conversations, visionary ideas, and transformative insights that undoubtedly shaped the dialogue around the future of the forecourt and convenience retail sectors. From discussions on emerging trends to strategic approaches in sustainability and digitalisation, attendees were immersed in conversations that challenged conventional thinking and opened the door to new possibilities.

It was particularly inspiring to connect with so many professionals deeply committed to transforming the fuel and retail landscape. The energy was palpable, and it became clear that innovation was not just a theme but the driving force behind every exchange. From next-gen convenience models to sustainable fuel solutions, the day underscored how rapidly the industry is evolving—and how collaboration remains key to that progress.

Day Two built on this momentum with an equally dynamic agenda. A major highlight was the panel discussion titled “The Digital Road Ahead for Forecourts and Convenience,” where Clive Hughes, our Director UK, joined other thought leaders to explore the technological innovations reshaping customer engagement and operational performance across the sector. The session offered cutting-edge perspectives on how digital tools—from AI-driven analytics to seamless payment systems—are redefining the modern forecourt experience.

This two-day event reinforced ReFuel Forum’s role as a catalyst for progress and connection in the retail and energy ecosystem. The conversations, relationships, and insights gained will continue to influence strategy and spark innovation long after the forum concluded.
