A PAIR of East Lancashire brothers have made the top 10 in the Asian Rich List.

Zuber and Mohsin Issa, the driving force behind Euro Garages, which landed the Asian Business of the Year 2018 award,were joint ninth on the list after a stellar year, which has seen them grow into America and the Netherlands.

The firm jumped 25 places to number 9 and an increase in total net worth of £1bn to a valuation of £1.3bn

EG Group looks set to increase to more than 3,000 petrol stations across Europe - a new deal announced in January sees EG tying up with the Esso brand to increase their presence across the Benelux nations.

The Group works with an incredible array of household brand names - from Greggs, Starbucks, and KFC to Carrefour (French supermarket giants), Louis Delhaize (a Belgian supermarket brand) through to oil majors, Shell, BP and Esso.

It has brokered major deals with these retail concerns and global energy powerhouses, and is probably the no1 UK company doing this at home and abroad.

The Asian Rich List, which is published by Asian Media Group (AMG), shows the combined overall net worth of the featured 101 UK based millionaires has topped the £80.2 billion mark, (an increase of just under £11bn since last year), with the top 10 being valued at a total of £54.25 billion and representing 68 per cent of the total figure.

The gala event, attended by Dinesh K Patnaik, Deputy High Commissioner, High Commission of India, saw him honour the outstanding business achievements across industries.
