I am
very pleased to announce the commencement of a new fuel company known as “Fuel n
Go”. This company has been created in partnership with Jeff Griffiths of
Endeavour Petroleum. Both Jeff and I will be equal Owner/Directors.
It
will be important to note that while we will work together in this new venture
we will remain competitors with our respective fuel companies.
The
new company’s prime activity will be establishing a network of unmanned Diesel
sites in regional towns. The equipment will be a “Logitank” which is an above
ground 68,000L tank placed in a sealed shipping container alongside a dual flow
pump and card swipe machine. Customers will be able to swipe their card to
authorise a fuel purchase. The swipe machine will accept all major credit cards
as well as our own branded card which will soon be released on the market.
The
technology used will be the best this industry has to offer. When a customer
activates the machine by swiping the card it will activate security lights,
record the sale in litres and dollars, authorise the debit to the card account
and report on stock inventory. The tanks will have automated tank gauging, safe
fill protection and the ability to set prices remotely. We are currently in the
process of developing our new website as well as establishing the systems within
Endeavour and Evans petroleum to manage each location.
Construction of our first location will commence soon and we have plans for more
sites to be operating by the end of 2012. We will keep you advised of our
progress with this exciting venture and I look forward to achieving market
success. |
