The Rondel Group

From the road, to the forecourt,
to the table.

A West Midlands group built on haulage roots โ€” now spanning fuel distribution, forecourt retail, hospitality, property and construction. One group, seven businesses, one mission: to enrich lives and communities.

Blakenhall Service Station, a Rondel Group forecourt in Wolverhampton

Blakenhall Service Station, Wolverhampton โ€” one of our forecourts today, and a future Maple Leaf Express site.

Our Story

Built on the road. Growing with the community.

Rondel Trading Limited began as a haulage operator moving goods across the UK. In 2019 we sold our wagon fleet to focus on forecourt retailing โ€” then rebuilt our own transport arm in 2025 through Mapleleaf Petroleum, giving the group direct control over fuel security from terminal to forecourt. Today, Rondel Group is the parent to seven trading businesses across energy, hospitality, property, recruitment, construction and automotive care.
