COTSWOLD GROUP, GLOUCESTER
INVESTIGATIVE COMPANY SEEKS OUT OPTIMUM FUELCARD 5 YEARS
DOWN THE ROAD AND THE FUEL SAVINGS SHOW
September 2005
The Cotswold Group based in Gloucester provides nationwide investigative
support to the insurance industry. With some twenty eight company cars and vans
covering the whole of the UK, the company sought to lower their fleet running
costs by seeking out a method of tracking fuel usage and of finding the most
economic outlets.
They turned to fuelcards, and after researching the cards available, the
Cotswold Group selected Abbey Fuelcards as the provider that could offer both a
competitive rate for fuel, and a reporting structure that met the group's
specific requirements.
With cars being used for commuting, business and pleasure, a specialised monthly
reporting system was required for each vehicle and driver. Abbey Fuelcards met
the challenge with a monthly spreadsheet tailored precisely to their needs.
Simon Lofts, Fleet manager for The Cotswold Group, noted "We no longer have to
rely on each driver having to search out the best price for diesel. The weekly
agreed price and the specific fuel outlets give us the assurance that we are
buying fuel at a rate usually cheaper Than the normal pump prices. On top of
that the customer service is second to none with a swift response to any
queries we may have. Abbey Fuelcards have certainly shown a saving over the
five years that we have been using them."
In this era of high fuel prices any steps that can be taken to reduce transport
costs for companies with a vehicle fleet has got to be good news. Abbey
Fuelcards offers the best news to fleet managers and to those whose
responsibility it is to contain the ever eroding effect on profit margins of
the UK's increasing diesel pump prices.
