At the annual Forecourt Seminar, ACS has welcomed a record attendance of retailers and suppliers to the Ricoh Arena in Coventry to hear about the latest trends and innovations in the forecourt sector.

The event, chaired by Professor Mark Selby, features award winning retailer David Charman, Symonds Managing Director Nick Lloyd, Certas Energy's Ramsay McDonald and many others sharing their views about the future of the sector and the challenges facing forecourt retailers today.

ACS Chief Executive James Lowman said: "There is no doubt that some of the most important innovations and best practice is taking place in forecourt convenience stores. This event is a great opportunity for colleagues to network and learn from each other."
