even though tight margins on diesel sales contributed to its collapse just before Christmas.
Marketing manager Chris Clennell says:"We are currently in negotiations with a fuel company that should be sorted out within the next couple of months.
He adds that Nightowl previously dealt with a number of m aj or fuel bunkering companies: "Margins on the fuel got so tight which was one contributing factor." Before the collapse the company repeatedly shut its pumps, claiming they needed to be renewed. In February, a deal was struck with creditors which allowed the company to continue trading, saving the jobs of 200 employees (CM 19 February).
Clennell says Nightowl is about to receive a 'Secure by Design' award following improvements to its Birtley site near Newcastle upon Tyne. These include electric fencing, CCTV and automatic controls on the exit and entrance.
