Energy & petroleum
The pressures of low margins are driving a continual call for cost reduction and efficiency in the petroleum and energy sectors. This has created a renewed focus on supply chain issues. Consumer perception of 'value for money' depends on the quality of service received, and the efficiency of the supply chain therefore plays a major role.
Wincanton has significant expertise in the petroleum and energy sector across Europe, managing operations for businesses such as BP Castrol, Texaco, Exxon, ConocoPhillips, Pace and TOTAL in the UK, Germany, Poland and the Netherlands. Our ability to add value to our customers' operations has made us market leader in fuel distribution in the UK and gained us recognition for our uncompromising commitment to best practice in Health and Safety performance.
Our teams manage the most complex challenges and actively encourage customers to benchmark performance against our competitors. The very latest thinking in Health and Safety management has driven behaviour based safety initiatives that have helped our customers to set industry standards.
