Portland: stay in budget with fixed-cost fuel
Fixed price fuel specialist Portland continues to emphasise the importance of locking in a guaranteed diesel and HVO cost for budgetary certainty.
The York-based company says it offers a range of fixed price solutions to suit all supply methods – including the physical delivery of commercial fuels at a long-term fixed price via road tanker, through fuel cards and via fuel network transfer, as well as fuel hedging for those businesses that may not wish to change supplier.
“It has been well documented that movements in fuel prices can seriously impact budgets, with the average UK bulk diesel price fluctuating between £1.02 and £1.29 per litre in the twelve months to the end of September 2024,” said Portland.
“This constant price movement makes tools to avoid market volatility an important consideration. The fixed price provided by Portland means that transport operators gain complete control over fuel costs, so they can forecast diesel and HVO spend accurately and focus on their core business activities, no matter how the fuel is supplied.”
The company can provide customers with a fixed pence per litre price for up to 18 months in advance. There is no fee to lock in a price, adds Portland, and minimum volume commitments are very low.
Portland has been offering its range of fixed price fuel services since 2009 to a client base that includes hauliers, own-fleet operators and bus and coach companies.
