Crawley-based cash machine company TRM has secured an exclusive contract with oil giant Shell.

The deal will see more than 250 modern cash machines installed at Shell-owned petrol stations across the UK.

TRM managing director Ashley Dean said the contract confirmed the company's position as the "leading" cash machine provider in the UK.

TRM will provide 24-hour telephone support and an emergency technician service.

Shell UK Retail's forecourt services marketing manager Matt Eaglestone said: "We are delighted to have joined with TRM in this contract.

"Their business philosophy of providing convenience products and excellent customer service fits entirely with our own."

Installation of the cash machines is now under way.
