4 Acquisition International - 2019 Business Excellence Awards Drawing on more than 26 years in the industry, Cambrian Fuel Card Services Ltd is an award-winning, family-run business. We profile the firm, which is not only a winner in this year’s Business Excellence Awards but also the UK’s longest serving family-run fuel card provider, to find out more. riginally started as an oil distribution company in 1976 with a fleet of tankers delivering fuels and lubricants from Cardiff Docks to customers in South Wales, Cambrian moved into fuel cards in 1993 when its owners spotted an opportunity to sell their own fuel through this innovative method. Today the firm provides a range of cards from leading brands such as Shell, Texaco, Keyfuels and UKfuels. These cards can be used nationwide in over 8000 locations. Cambrian’s relationship with these brands has allowed the company to create a network which is designed for optimum business use both in terms of locations and of the cost. Seeking to remain ahead of emerging technologies in the industry, Cambrian also offers a range of innovative additions, including a telematics solution that offers customers real-time vehicle tracking. Through a bespoke digital platform, fleet managers can ensure their fleet is operating at maximum capacity, monitor driving behaviour, pro-actively communicate with their drivers, and reduce costs. This unique focus is on building long-term working relationships with both customers suppliers, and this often involves not passing on costs to them unlike some of Cambrian’s larger competitors. Unique to the market, Cambrian offers its customers accounts that have no set-up costs, no transaction fees, no minimum spend charges and no card charges, and as such are the ultimate in cost-efficient fuel card solutions.
