It is therefore important for Engen to continually seek relevant and innovative spaces where we can interact with customers meaningfully,\u201d comments Seelan Naidoo, Engen\u2019s General Manager: Retail.<\/p>\n<p>Naidoo also notes that just over 1 in every 4 litres of petrol purchased in SA is from Engen with 137 million customer visits to Engen forecourts in 2017, which was slightly up from the previous year. \u201cWe opened 10 new service stations in 2017 and have an even more aggressive new site rollout programme for this year,\u201d says Naidoo.<\/p>\n<p>Added to this, the company is also firmly committed to transformation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTransformation is at the core of every part of our operations thanks to a strategy that is a critical part of our business plan. Not only are 46% of Engen\u2019s South African service stations black-owned, 10% are also owned by women,\u201d he adds<\/p>\n<p>The results of Sunday Times Top Brands continue to validate Engen\u2019s presence, investments and marketing focus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are honoured to once again receive this award and thank our customers for choosing Engen. South African motorists and consumers are assured that Engen will continue to provide them with the best service, the best value and the best convenience offerings,\u201d concludes Naidoo.<\/p>\n<p>* Sunday Times Top Brands Awards is commissioned by Avusa Media and conducted by TNS Research Surveys<\/p>\n<p>CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za.<\/p>\n<p><small><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/thank-you-sa-engen-retains-its-number-one-status\/\">MyPR<\/a><\/small><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/submit\">Submit your own Press Release<\/a> or get free content for your publication.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Video &#8211; How to post your Press Release on MyPR:<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9ovzdChGkuU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><small>My Press Release (MyPR) provides free South African targeted content and press releases for on and off line publishers and media.
