AVRO – The Association of Vehicle Recovery Operators – has found an interesting way for its members to lower their fuel costs. AVRO is now offering its members the opportunity not only to buy fuel at typically 2p to 3p below the average national pump price but also to reduce their administration costs. And all of this by the use of abbey Fuelcards at no extra cost to the memberships’ customers.
AVRO members are all professional recovery operators. With 500 members each spending significant amounts of money on fuel for vehicle usage, the savings will be sizeable and will help AVRO members reduce their outlay on motoring costs.
AVRO is offering the full range of abbey Fuelcards to its members; fastfuel, diesel direct and euroshell:
fastfuel – giving discounted petrol and diesel at some 1400 nationwide outlets including all Texaco and Morrisons Supermarkets nationwide.
diesel direct – offering fixed price diesel at over 1000 UK locations
euroshell – discounted diesel at motorway and major trunk road Shell service stations that are all HGV suitable.
By tailoring its account and management reporting service to suit each individual AVRO member, abbey Fuelcards will reduce the administration costs of those members, increasing even further the bottom line profitability of their operation.
This saving in administration is over and above the actual saving on the cost of the fuel. Because abbey Fuelcards sets the cost of fuel on a weekly basis. So AVRO members know beforehand the savings available without having to drive around looking for the best deal in town.
Gary Satchwell, Chief Executive of AVRO, explains the reasoning behind the offer to the membership.
'The scheme is part of an ongoing policy of AVRO to help members retain that all important edge in an increasingly competitive market. The more we can do to keep costs down, the more it will benefit the end user – who is effectively getting a top-notch service without having to pay a premium.'
abbey Fuelcards not only add to the profitability of the AVRO membership but will help them remain even more competitive.
