UK petrol forecourt and convenience retailer with integrated EV charging
EG On The Move operates a multi-format retail network across the UK—fuel, foodservice (Starbucks, Popeyes, Subway, Greggs partnerships), grocery, and EV charging. The tech stack reveals an operational intelligence play: heavy Microsoft cloud (Dynamics 365, Azure data stack, Power BI, Tableau) combined with modern data engineering (Databricks, PySpark, Delta Lake) replacing Azure Synapse. Active hiring skews operations-heavy (9 ops roles vs. 3 engineering), with focus on store growth and financial reporting quality—typical of a retail chain scaling store count and data consolidation across acquired entities.
EG On The Move is a UK-based petrol forecourt operator founded in 2001, now operating 1,001–5,000 locations across the country. The business combines traditional fuel retail (petrol, diesel, EV charging, vehicle maintenance products) with convenience foodservice (via brand partnerships), grocery, and merchandise. The company has invested in fast-charging EV infrastructure to serve a growing electric vehicle customer base. Operationally, the company manages multiple store formats, handles inventory and waste reduction at scale, and maintains real-time reporting across a dispersed network. Recent activity includes new store openings, integration of acquired entities into consolidated reporting, and country-level budgeting cycles.
Microsoft-centric: Dynamics 365 (finance and ERP), Azure cloud (Data Factory, Data Lake, Event Hubs, Logic Apps), Databricks and PySpark for data pipelines, Power BI and Tableau for analytics, SQL Server Reporting Services, and Active Directory. Currently migrating away from Azure Synapse.
New store openings; Azure data pipeline and Databricks transformation projects; migration of Synapse workloads; EV charging infrastructure expansion; integration of acquired entities into consolidated reporting; and improvements to financial reporting and budgeting processes.
