Global-MSI is a substantial business with an excellent pedigree and enviable long-standing reputation as a specialist in the design, manufacture and installation of forecourt structures, that include convenience stores, traditional fuel & EV canopies, food-to-go outlets and car wash buildings. With a heritage stretching back to the conception of forecourt retailing in the 1960’s through to today, Global-MSI is, without doubt, the leading specialist in the design, manufacture and installation of forecourt structures throughout the UK.

  • With unique total in-house capability, Global-MSI is a highly competent, professional organisation comprising a dynamic in-house team of structural engineers and draftsmen; surveyors; project managers; site engineers and skilled tradesmen operating in superb modern manufacturing facilities. We work directly for independent petrol station owners, oil companies, supermarket groups and in partnership with project management companies, consultants and main contractors.
  • Global-MSI is also the contractor of choice for forecourt structure alterations, refurbishment, maintenance, damage repair services and structural design inspections. Global-MSI maintains a unique and comprehensive reference library of original drawings and structural calculations for thousands of petrol filling stations across the UK, constructed by us and others. Accessibility to this unique resource enables a prompt response when structures require modification or repair, minimising disruption and eliminating expensive intrusive site surveys and multiple site visits.
  • Canopies – From the simplest standard canopies to the most complex bespoke designs, Global-MSI supplies solutions to meet all customer requirements. Our experienced design team is committed to providing cost-effective schemes to specific customer demands for traditional petrol/diesel forecourts as well as for EV installations.
  • Buildings – The design, manufacture and installation of steel framed structures for use as forecourt sales kiosks, or food-to-go outlets complete with glazing systems, roller shutters, personnel doors and a variety of external finishes.
  • Repairs & maintenance – Global-MSI has drawing and design information for the majority of the UK’s forecourt canopies. So, whether our customer requires a structural design report or wishes to modify, repair or maintain their forecourt canopy, the likelihood is that Global-MSI possesses the original design details. This enables us to replace damaged or weathered parts with identical materials that maintain the original design intent. Our experienced surveyors are conveniently located to offer a nationwide service, whether to assess accident damage or to discuss an alteration or refurbishment of an existing structure.

  • Signage/branding – a full service for all forecourt signage requirements is available through our Petrol Sign division
