Did you know? Ascona Group, founded in 2011, has rapidly become one of the UK's leading forecourt operators with over 62 sites! 🛣 With a vision set in motion by CEO Darren Briggs, we've been transforming the fuel retail experience with a focus on community and customer service. 🤝

We're more than a business; we're a community champion. Through the Ascona Foundation, we've donated over £200,000 to local causes, and our ongoing partnership with the Wales Air Ambulance aims to raise £100,000 this year. 🚁❤

As the dawn breaks this Remembrance Sunday, we find ourselves in a moment of profound reflection. Today, in 2023, we stand in the long shadow of history, remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and peace.

We pause to honour the courage and selflessness of our fallen heroes. Each poppy we wear, each moment of silence we observe, is a testament to their enduring legacy. They may no longer be with us, but their spirit and sacrifice continue to inspire and guide us.

Let us also extend our thoughts to the families and loved ones who bear the weight of loss. Their resilience and strength remind us that while we may mourn, we must also celebrate the lives and memories of those who gave so much.

As we reflect on the past, let's also look forward with hope. Let's commit to building a world that upholds the values for which, so many, have fought and died. A world of peace, understanding, and unity.

Today, let's remember not just with sorrow, but with gratitude and a renewed sense of responsibility to cherish and protect the freedoms we hold dear.

Lest We Forget. 🌹
