About the Company
Following the
acquisition by DCC of Fuel Card Services in 2005, we’ve gone from
strength to strength, growing through acquisitions and organic growth.
Today we’re one of the largest fuel card providers in the UK, selling
over 800 million litres of fuel to over 50,000 customers, with over £1
billion of sales in FY24.
Whilst our legacy is in fuel cards,
we’re focussed on continuing to drive performance and double our
profit by 2030. We’ll do this by listening to our customers,
harnessing digital innovation, supporting EV transitions, and
expanding our suite of fleet products and services. We intend to find
sustainable solutions wherever we can, so that we don’t just meet the
needs and expectations of our customers but exceed them.
With
an ambitious and energetic team of over 280 talented colleagues,
across five locations, we’re working together to become the leading
provider of energy and mobility services to the UK’s SME sector.
Caring forms part of our five core values, along with respect
and how we treat others, collaboration and working well together,
diversity and inclusion and valuing our differences, and innovation
which will help us find the solutions we need and overcome any
challenges to realise our vision.
