More Sol Service Stations Coming  

Sol, the Caribbean’s leading provider of energy solutions, is preparing to significantly expand its Sol Retail Brand in Barbados, Grenada, St. Lucia and St. Vincent. This word comes as the company prepares to celebrate ten years of operations.

Sol’s Caribbean operations began in 2005 when the company acquired Shell’s business in the Eastern Caribbean, Guyana, Suriname and Belize. Sol has had a long and successful relationship with Shell over the last ten years and confirms that the company’s decision to rebrand the Shell service stations to Sol service stations is part of its strategy to continue with the roll-out of a truly independent world-class company that combines the best of Caribbean understanding and international technical expertise.

Mr. Gerard Cox, Chief Executive Officer of The Sol Group, noted that this is an exciting time for Sol, its team members and its customers across the region. “Sol is proud to be Caribbean,” he said “We have been able to compete successfully in a global market as a result of the vision, enthusiasm, and work ethic of Caribbean people across the region. We believe that our best days are ahead of us and we will continue to invest in the communities in which we operate.”

Noting that Sol is a world-class company managing large, highly complex businesses in 23 territories across the Caribbean and Central and South America, Mr. Cox said that Shell customers can look forward to a smooth transition from the Shell brand to the Sol brand. “We have an outstanding team that is as good as any in the world,” he said.

He also noted that the customers are expected to experience minimal disruption as a result of the rebranding process and that this process is expected to be completed in 2015.

Updates on the conversion will be available via its website www.solpetroleum.com and via its social media presences. Sol provides energy solutions to the shipping, luxury boating, aviation, mining and trucking industries.
