Murco: Petrol stations sold after Milford Haven refinery sale

The firm selling the Murco oil refinery in Milford Haven has announced that all of its UK petrol stations will also be sold.

Murphy Oil revealed in July that a deal had been signed with the Klesch Group, safeguarding 400 jobs at the refinery.

On Monday it said 228 of its petrol stations - 78 in Wales - are being sold to Motor Fuel Group (MFG) in a deal Reuters say is worth £200m.

The petrol stations will retain the Murco brand and name.
