Kilnbridge targets fuel savings with Fleetmaxx Solutions
Date: Tuesday, February 1, 2022 | Author: Sean Keywood
Building and civil engineering business Kilnbridge is targeting up to £25,000 a year in fuel cost savings through a partnership with fuel card provider Fleetmaxx Solutions.
Kilnbridge’s total fleet of 125 vehicles includes small and large vans, along with a range of more specialist vehicles.
Kilnbridge head of fleet Mick Kemp said the company had begun working with Fleetmaxx Solutions following a consultation with the fuel card firm’s key account manager Rachel Pearson.
Kemp said: “One of the reasons I was appointed as Head of Fleet was to see if I could save money and improve on the high standards already set. Looking at Kilnbridge’s fleet, one of the biggest spends is fuel. So, I first looked at the current spend, talking to the current fuel card account managers to see if I could save money, because the situation really had to change.
“Rachel thoroughly inspected the invoices of our fuel card provider; she showed me an instant saving of around 5p a litre at one of our depots, which draws 15,000 litres a month. That saving equates to £9,000 a year.
“She showed me that changing fuel card brands didn’t add any pressure points, and we could continue using the usual garages. For Kilnbridge, this was such a quick win and a win for Fleetmaxx.
“Before agreeing on our partnership, I really tasked Rachel to deliver sound advice, she returned to me within a week with advice on our potential fuel cost savings. On hearing her assessment, I informed our CEO, this partnership can save the organisation £25,000 a year in fuel costs.”
Pearson said: “It’s been fantastic to assist Kilnbridge with lowering their fuel costs, and for Fleetmaxx to provide free of charge emissions data to include CO2, NOx and particulate matter, which will help when they prepare for their FORS audit.”
