Forecourt operator Motor Fuel Group (MFG) has announced the appointment of Michael O’Loughlin (pictured) as its new Managing Director for acquisitions & business development.
In 1997 O’Loughlin joined Petrogas as a licensee of its flagship site in Dublin. As the group grew to double figures, he was appointed Operations Director and later Retail Director of newly-formed Applegreen. In 2008 he relocated to the UK to establish Applegreen’s UK presence, growing the business to 75 sites as Managing Director before leaving in December 2016.
He brings with him a wealth of forecourt retail experience. Retail and food-to-go are playing a growing part in MFG’s plans and O’Loughlin is focused on having an active role in the continued growth of these areas.
Michael O’Loughlin said: “I’m delighted to be joining the team. The company’s rapid growth over a very short period of time is an indication of the dedication and drive of the whole team. I’m really looking forward to playing my part in the successful and dynamic model they operate.”
