Most hauliers and logistics firms, perhaps yours included, feel forced to accept fuel price fluctuations from suppliers or at the pump, despite the significant risk to gross profit margins.
This exposure can be totally avoided.
With Fuel Lock, hauliers with turnovers <£100m can access fuel hedging for the first time while those who currently hedge can now access a faster, more cost effective hedging solution. It’s simple, customised hedging to mitigate your unwanted market risk.
You can:
- Lock in the price you pay for fuel for 3-36 months
- Benefit from the same system used by international hauliers for decades
- Remove uncertainty in the price of your fuel
- Start small as proof of how effective it is
Alan Clarke Testimonial - Mini Clipper LTD
Company
Mini Clippers is a logistics firm operating a 40-strong fleet offering next-day and economy delivery services, including palletised and hazardous freight. Like many logistics and haulage companies, they identified in their company accounts that they needed a solution to manage their commodity (fuel) risk. One of their largest and most volatile overheads (for most of our customers, fuel costs are >20% of their overall costs).
Solution
They were introduced to Foenix Partners’ hedging tool, a simple way to mitigate the risk of fuel price fluctuations. After completing Foenix’s quick set-up and onboarding process, our team of experts worked with them to create a bespoke trade, hedging 50% of their fuel requirement for an initial period of 6 months with a recent extension for 10 months.
Outcome
The recent upward move in fuel prices meant Mini Clippers’ fuel costs increased, but with their hedge in place, they have reimbursed the difference between the price they hedged and the price they paid at the pump, which was 4.89ppl last month.
Here’s what Alan Clarke, Financial Director of Mini Clippers, had to say,
“The benefit of fuel hedging with Foenix Partners is it gives our company control of fuel costs. I would absolutely recommend them. 5 stars. Thank you for allowing us to get fuel arrangements in place.”
