Service station redevelopment brings new jobs to Selby

A Selby-based service station business has redeveloped and expanded its flagship premises with support from a six-figure funding package from HSBC.

NJB Services Group, established in 2004, has transformed a former filling station in Selby into a 2,000 sq ft modern service station, complete with a Spar convenience store, a Subway and an independent café.

The redeveloped premises now includes a number of market leading features such as self-service tills, a launderette and the business’s own coffee shop brand Cheeky Café.

The Group has created 15 new jobs at the site following the redevelopment and has plans to increase its workforce further over the next 12 months. In addition, the business expects to increase its turnover by 25 per cent in the same period.

The funding follows closely on the back of a seven-figure funding package from HSBC to enable NJB Services to acquire a new fuel filling station at Newton Park near Durham.

Nick Baker, Director of NJB Services Group, said: “With HSBC’s financial backing we were able to exploit a gap in the local market for a service station that meets a whole range of demands from Selby residents, passing motorists and local workers.

“We have seen revenue double since the relaunch of the store and our new innovations such as the self-service laundrette and our own brand coffee shop have underpinned this growth.”

The deal was completed by Mike Craft, HSBC’s Relationship Director for North Yorkshire and Humber.

Adam Kelly, HSBC’s Area Director for North Yorkshire and Humber, said: “HSBC is proud to support an innovative business such as NJB Services Group. The new site looks excellent and it is a pleasure to see customers enjoying its many services. We look forward to seeing the business continue to grow and create local jobs.”
