The Drive Behind Metro Petroleum

From the hum of machinery at Marshall Batteries to commanding a network of over 350 service stations, John Dib’s career is a testament to hard work, vision, and the quintessential entrepreneurial spirit.

John’s journey began in 1978 at a small service station on Punchbowl Road. Initially a machine operator at Marshall Batteries, a friend’s belief in John’s “golden hands” for service station mechanics and his love for cars propelled him to venture into the gasoline service industry. It was a shift that would set the stage for a decades-long saga of growth and innovation.
