The Northamptonshire site is just 400m from the M1 at Junction 16 and will be located alongside the existing Red Lion Truck Stop. The new site will feature a canopy cover design and eight high-speed refuelling pumps.

The project’s ground-breaking ceremony was presided over by Red Lion director, Zarfeen Jetha and marked the project’s first day of construction.

“I’m confident that the addition of the Certas Energy high-speed HGV refuelling facility will prove to be an invaluable addition to our existing offering,” said Zarfeen Jetha.
