MRH: Strategic Reporting
Ensure accurate digital reporting capability to support MRH’s growth plans.
Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Staines-upon-Thames, MRH is the UK’s leading independent forecourt operator, serving 2.5 million customers every week at 491 sites across the country. Through partnerships with petrol companies such as BP, Shell and Esso, MRH sells up to 2.5 billion litres of fuel annually in the UK.
