Henderson Technology secures EPOS partnership for Gulf and Pace forecourts

Certas Energy, one of the largest fuel suppliers to the UK’s independent forecourts, has appointed Henderson Technology as an approved EPOS supplier to its Gulf and Pace forecourt sites.

The partnership enables Henderson Technology to supply its EPOS software system EDGEPoS to retailer stores branded Gulf and Pace across Scotland, England and Wales.


The deal commences immediately and means sites can be supplied over a 60-month lease agreement with no upfront cost to the forecourt retailer.

“We are delighted to have been installing our award winning EDGEPoS system with Gulf forecourts since 2019. It has been a successful couple of years, and we look forward to building our network through this partnership,” Darren Nickels, retail technology operations director for Henderson Technology, said.

Alex Friendship, head of business development, roadside services at Certas Energy, added: “We work with several forward-thinking forecourt retailers who are looking to invest in an innovative EPOS system. When we looked at Henderson Technology and the EDGEPoS system, we saw these same progressive ideas from the company and the software it provides.

“We undertook a rigorous tender process and were impressed with Henderson Technology’s technical expertise, market knowledge and support. We are delighted to announce EDGEPoS as an approved EPOS supplier for fuel forecourts across our dealer network and I look forward to working alongside the team at Henderson Technology.”

Certas Energy added that it is committed to growing its retail and forecourt business and the partnership with Henderson Technology will enable the company to strengthen the in-store experience for customers and support its forecourt operators by providing more security within the site and much more visibility and control of a store.

With over 130 depots, over 900 tankers and 2,300 employees, Certas supplies more than 1,200 retail outlets nationwide, including a network of 500 Gulf-branded forecourts.

Henderson Technology is the largest EPOS supplier in Northern Ireland. The company recently embarked on a significant sales expansion outside of Northern Ireland and is now supplying EDGEPoS to retailers to over 725 sites across the UK and Australia.

The firm is about to launch their new EDGEPoS Analytics package to their database of retailers.
