Petrolimex Board of Management member and Deputy General Director Vu Ba Phu congratulated and praised 26 petrol stations managers for their exceptionally excellent achievements. He expected them to continue contributing and maximising their capability, to be the elite and typical individuals to encourage labourers to follow suit and promote emulation movement in the whole Group.

Nguyen Thi Thanh Binh, manager of Petrolimex Quang Ninh’s Petrol Station at No 52 Cao Thang which records average sales of 800cu.m/month, and retail productivity per head of 44.5cu.m/month - said: At present, competition in the petroleum sector is extremely fierce. Therefore, a petrol station manager must maximise sales opportunities as well as seriously implement solutions to best serve customers including Petrol station with 5S, A five-step selling process, and proper allocation of vehicles entering and leaving the petrol station; whilst promoting communications at the petrol station and effectively implementing the Company’s and Group’s “thank you” programmes such as “Petrolimex Golden Day” or programmes organised by the petrol station.

With the determination of all petrol station staff, Chu Van Minh, manager of Petrolimex Hanoi’s Petrol Station No 85 - the petrol station with average sales of 1,815cu.m/month and retail productivity per head of 66.3cu.m/month - was convinced that the petrol station would continue upholding its capability to meet the expectations of the Petrolimex Hanoi’s and the Group’s leadership who have always cared for and encouraged the petrol station’s operation.

Although many petrol stations do not have advantages to a commercial location, with their excellent leadership, brilliant business visibility and the ability to train and inspire others, managers of these petrol stations always have strong passion for moving forwards, and making their station to be a leading unit in their company. With such outstanding performance, 26 managers of petrol stations deserved to be honoured and presented Certificate of Merit by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
