Forecourt retailer Circle K’s Ireland Managing Director Ciara Foxton has been promoted to Senior Vice President Operations for Circle K Mid-Europe & Asia.
Ms Foxton served as Managing Director of Circle K’s Irish business for two and half years since January 2024. Before that she was the company’s finance director.
She has worked for Circle K since 2018 and her previous roles include senior finance roles at Life Style Sports, Arnotts, Kefron and Diageo.
Circle K said her successor in the Irish market will be announced in the coming weeks.
Ms Foxton will assume her new position in July and will be responsible for Circle K Mid-Europe & Asia which includes Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, and Circle K’s Hong Kong business unit.
In her new role, she will oversee the ongoing integration of the Circle K brand and business in Mid-Europe following on from the acquisition of over 2,000 locations from TotalEnergies in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg in 2023.
Ciara Foxton said it has been a privilege for her to serve as MD of Circle K in Ireland.
“I am proud of what we have achieved together, and the business continues to maintain a very strong position in the Irish market,” she said.
“I am excited to take on this new opportunity as we rollout the Circle K brand in key markets in Mid-Europe,” she said.
“I joined Circle K Ireland in 2018 just as the brand started to become visible on Irish forecourts and I am excited to go on the same journey again across Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg as well as supporting our leaders in these markets,” she added.
