Peters Food Service have been manufacturing pies, pasties, sausage rolls and sausages for over 30 years, and offer a comprehensive, nationwide chilled distribution service supplying caterers and retailers.
They are renowned for their van sales operation which enables them to offer customers exactly what they need, when they need it. To achieve this level of service, they run a national sales force operating some 130 dual temperature vans from a network of 12 regional depots, from Durham in the borders to Bristol and in the South West.
In running such an extended network it is obviously important to keep fuel and administration costs as low as possible. As part of its ongoing strategy, Peters Food Service has begun to introduce Abbey’s Diesel Direct fuel card across its network. Diesel Direct offers a nationwide fixed weekly price for fuel typically 2-3p per litre BELOW pump prices – thus making significant ongoing savings on fuel costs, and eliminating exposure to regional price variations.
In addition, Abbey’s customised weekly reports can make a real contribution to simplifying administration procedures and achieving cost savings. For example, for Peters Food Service Abbey provide weekly reports in which the drawings are broken down into cost centres. At a stroke this removes the need to re-enter the information from the invoice into a spreadsheet and then re-sort all the data.
Beth Miles, Transport Controller for Peters Food Service, commented: 'We are very pleased with the Abbey service and the Diesel Direct card. With one fuel card we have made significant savings on both the price of fuel and administrative time and costs. Abbey’s personal account management and attention to detail has made a real difference in helping us provide the first class level of service that we want to offer our customers.'
