If fuel is a key component of your business costs then you should consider our Fixed Price Contract offering.

Fixed Pricing is a method of hedging your exposure to fluctuating fuel prices, bringing predictability to a significant cost in your business and protecting budgets for the period of the contract.

Events of the last few days have demonstrated the volatility of the oil market and the unexpected events which can suddenly impact on price. Attacks on oil fields in Saudi Arabia at the weekend, disrupting 5% of the worlds global output or 5.7 million barrels per day, resulted in Brent Crude having its largest jump in price on record, a 14.6% increase. The local impact of this was a 5 cent per litre increase in fuel supply prices by Tuesday morning. Weeks or months of disruption may follow, adding significantly to the volatility of the oil market. The barrel currently sits at $63 with predictions from Goldman Sachs of it hitting somewhere in the $75 – $100 range if supply is not restored quickly.

Despite this significant increase on Tuesday and due to the likely ongoing uncertainty, prices are still at a level at which it makes sense to examine the benefits of fixing your fuel price for a set period of time.
