NEWTON, Mass. -- Gulf Oil LP said it has moved its corporate headquarters to Newton, Mass., from Chelsea, Mass., effective immediately.
It selected the Newton location, 11 miles from Gulf's former Chelsea headquarters, to minimize any disruption for its employees while allowing the company to develop both a high-tech, state-of-the-art office as well as additional space for Gulf's growing activities.
Chelsea will continue to be an important Massachusetts community within the Gulf organization, as one of Gulf's largest and most [image-nocss] important storage facilities resides in Chelsea, said Gulf CEO Joe Petrowski. The move to One Newton Place, at 275 Washington Street in Newton, keeps our offices in Massachusetts and places us in the middle of a vibrant community with excellent amenities that will allow Gulf to continue to attract and retain the very best professionals necessary to grow the company. The new offices allow us to both equip and design a work setting that maximizes our ability to react quickly to a customer's needs and market conditions both of which are key to our continued success. We are proud of our Northeast base, our Boston home, and believe this move serves our mission, our customers, and our employees best.
