Sponsored by VARS Technology, the APEA Best Forecourt Project Award celebrates outstanding B2C forecourt developments across the UK and Ireland. This award honours retail fuel installation projects completed in the 12 months leading up to November 2025, which raise the bar in safety, sustainability, design, and customer experience.

We welcome nominations that reflect exceptional achievement in areas such as:

  • Design Excellence: Projects that feature high-impact architectural, operational, or spatial design, delivering both aesthetic appeal and functional efficiency.
  • Service and Technology Innovation: Installations that integrate the latest technologies or customer service innovations to enhance user experience and streamline operations.
  • Environmental Responsibility: Forecourts that prioritise sustainability through eco-conscious construction, energy efficiency, waste management or carbon reduction strategies.
  • Customer-Centric Offering: Locations delivering exceptional value, convenience, and service to customers—setting new standards in retail fuel experience.

Submitting a nomination is a powerful way to showcase the forward-thinking professionals and organisations shaping the future of retail forecourts. It’s a chance to celebrate not just technical excellence, but customer-focused innovation and environmental leadership.
