Gull Brings Pay at Pump Convenience to West Auckland

Express Lane Launched at Portage Road

Auckland, 11 February 2013 – Family owned full retailer Gull has once again led the market, this time in West Auckland, launching a speed lane at its Portage Road, New Lynn site.

Graham Stirk, Retail manager says; “Pay at the pump is a quick and easy way for busy motorists to fill up and be on their way with minimal delay.”

This is Gull’s second speed lane in the Auckland region and complements the company’s expanding network of unmanned drive through sites.

“Our first speed lane at Roscommon Road in South Auckland has been tremendously popular with small business owners and also with parents of small children, who don’t have to leave their kids in the car while they pay (after filling up).

“We expect to introduce more of these speed lanes in the coming months. No-one wants to spend any more time at the pump than they need to. Speed lanes offer time savings to customers, and Gull couldn’t be happier about making it easier for hard working kiwi motorists to fill up.”

Pay at Pump is for EFTPOS or PIN activated credit card transactions only.

Customers wishing to purchase fuel using supermarket discount vouchers and/or to purchase items in the convenience store, will need to pay the attendant as usual.

About Gull

Gull New Zealand is the independent oil company that is credited with keeping the fuel market competitive and giving savings to the Kiwi motorist. It has become a serious player, offering a real choice for motorists in an extremely competitive market. The company remains today a family owned operation.

Gull New Zealand was founded in 1998 by the Rae family who saw the need and potential for an independent energy supplier. Adherence to a philosophy of low cost management, prudent investment decisions and a carefully planned marketing strategy commenced with the building of a state of the art terminal in Mount Maunganui in 1998. Tanks were relocated from Marsden Point by barge, a feat the opposition said was “impossible”.

Gull New Zealand made the first retail sales of petrol in 1999 and has grown the network to over 40 branded sites.

Gull has been a first mover in introducing innovative new products to the New Zealand energy market. These include low sulphur diesel bringing environmental benefits well ahead of the opposition, as well as New Zealand’s first biofuel, Gull Force 10 (a 10% ethanol mixed with premium gasoline giving higher octane and cleaner performance).

2010 saw Gull achieve another first and extend its environmental focus with release of Gull Diesel Max, a high quality bio diesel blend sourced from sustainable New Zealand vegetable oil.

Gull now has four service stations that only sell bio fuels which is another first for New Zealand.
