Site manager Sharma with Caltex Victoria Ave's award for best site standards.

Whanganui's Caltex Victoria Ave service station has won the company's award for best site standards in New Zealand.

Owner Alaina Teki-Clark said she was surprised and pleased to accept the award at a recent ceremony in Auckland.

"It's based on how you maintain your site," Teki-Clark said.

"It's not only about presentation but also safety standards and record-keeping. Safety and record-keeping are very important in this type of business.

"One of us always goes to the awards and this year it was my turn. I had no idea we were getting an award."

The award comes ahead of a total revamp of the service station which Teki-Clark and her family have operated for 20 years.

"We will be gutting the site and refreshing it," she said.

"We're getting Lotto and a new food-to-go area. It will be happening in the next four months.

"I think it's a wonderful place for people to think about investing in."
