Seniors can get a fuel discount for eight weeks under a promotion from Sol Petroleum Bermuda, its family of Esso service stations and Age Concern.

Anyone aged 50 or older can get 10 per cent off fuel purchases at Esso every Tuesday until March 21 when they sign up as a member of Age Concern.

According to a press release, the promotion is intended to help Bermuda’s seniors and raise awareness about Age Concern.

Jonathan Brewin, general manager of Sol Petroleum Bermuda Ltd, stated: “We are happy to launch the Esso Age Concern promotion for a second year in a row.

“It not only benefits our seniors, but sheds light on the many benefits that Age Concern presents to its membership. We hope this promotion creates more awareness for the charity in general as well as helping our seniors save money at the pump.”

Claudette Fleming, executive director of Age Concern, said: “I wish to extend sincere thanks to Sol Petroleum Bermuda Ltd, Esso Gas Stations and their staff for their continued commitment to Age Concern.

“In the face of retirement many older adults are looking for ways to minimise their living expenses as prices continue to rise year on year. 10 per cent on fuel is a big deal for seniors and will be greatly appreciated.”

Participating Esso gas stations are in St David’s, St George’s, Crawl, Collector’s Hill, BIU, Esso City, Warwick, Port Royal and Sandys. To sign up for membership, visit www.ageconcern.bm.
