BMA members say fuel cost management is as important as price
Published:  14 February, 2008

With diesel having passed the £1/litre mark, BMA members frustrated by rising fuel prices are increasingly praising fuel cards for their cost management advantages. Steve Clarke, sales and marketing manager for Abbey Fuelcards, said: "Fuelcard holders still cite guaranteed lower prices as the main reason for joining, but we regularly hear that this is closely followed by the account management benefits."

He said that, after cost savings, the two features most often mentioned as attracting BMA members to Abbey Fuelcards both involve managing costs. "While 24/7 on-line access to account information is popular, almost everybody says that they like having their own, personal account manager," he said. "They tell us that, although they might never need it, people like to know that they are only a call away from a real human being who understands their business and knows their account."

Abbey Fuelcards is the fuelcard partner of the Bathroom Manufacturers Association. It has a range of fuelcards meeting the specific needs of BMA members, delivering savings on both fuel and administration costs.

The continuing Abbey Fuelcards ‘Price Watch' reports the pump price for diesel is now up to £1.20/litre in some areas (The Times, Dec. 10, 2007). The government has confirmed that April's planned 2p duty increase will go ahead.
