For most businesses in the plumbing and heating industry, fuel is a costly expense, but sadly, it is a necessary one.

Sadly, if you’re using fuel cards & not monitoring the prices each week, it can be more costly than it needs to be. You see, fuel card companies have been leading hard-working businesses up the garden path for years. Hiking up prices. Slipping in ‘market adjustments & made-up fees.’ Charging you more – just because they can.

And while you’re out running your business, working on jobs, chasing invoices, juggling staff and sorting the subsequent fire… They’re quietly rinsing your account in the background.

They offer you a ‘deal’ with a fantastic ‘price & then gradually inflate the rates while burying the changes in fine print. And because you’re busy working, you keep using the same card and paying the same invoice. Assuming the price is still competitive.

Sadly, that’s their business model & the average UK fuel card user is overpaying by between 7 – 8 pence a litre, so that can be hundreds, if not thousands, each month.

Driving Down Limited is a business trying to change that and regulate a broken industry.

They’re working with heating and plumbing businesses in the UK to help manage and save them money on their fuel. Not having to switch to a new fuel card or provider, just savings with what you already have in place.

Since they manage and look after 65 million litres a year, it gives them great buying power in the market. Plus, they have access to the fuel data & over 40 years’ experience between them. So not only do they know the best price to get you, but they also know HOW to get if you.

You receive your price as normal on a Friday and on Monday they send you’re the renegotiated price they’ve secured you, along with how much that will save you for the month.

Most heating and plumbing businesses have got better things to do than babysit and manage their fuel provider week after week, so instead it’s easier and more cost effective to outsource it.

The fee they charge is based on 25% of the savings each month, so your business is always better off, if they don’t save anything they don’t charge.

It’s not contracted or tied in, if a business is getting you savings each month and taking away a headache, why would they need to tie a business in.

All they need to check to see if you can get any savings are 3 pieces of information:

• Your current fuel card provider
• Your fuel price for the week
• Your average litres used per week or month

After that they can draw up if you can save money & more importantly how much by.

They’ll then present their findings back to you & if you’re happy for them to get to work, you simply send a short piece of text to your fuel card supplier and that’s it.

No impact to your business, no changes and no hassle. Just savings on fuel week after week.

Many businesses say, ‘it sounds too good to be true.’ Therefore, Driving Down Limited even works on the account for the first 3-4 weeks in advance of payment, allowing businesses to see the work & savings in black and white.

Fuel prices can be a nightmare at the best of times, but having the peace of mind that your fuel is managed and looked after is crucial. So, reach out to them today with your information and see if you can save.
