Certas Energy is the largest distributor of liquid fuels in the UK. As such we provide essential heating oil and road fuel to the domestic residential, NHS, military, care homes, government and other vital sectors.
We are proactively reviewing our Business Continuity Plans and revising appropriately as the situation and/or government guidance changes. This identifies potential risks in the fuel supply chain as well as key activities, staffing levels and technology requirements for sustained remote working.
Inevitably, the COVID-19 pandemic will have an effect on our normal business operations and we will make decisions based on government advice, priority need and vulnerable customers.
Certas Energy continually invests in technology and infrastructure to ensure that the business is both robust and adaptable to be able to respond and cope with significant and potentially disruptive events such as the coronavirus.
We have an extensive network of facilities, drivers and support teams across the UK that are working well to manage demand and serve customers.
Underpinning our corporate business continuity plan, are regional and local arrangements that are managed by key personnel with contingency plans in place that have been stress-tested and are under continuous review as the situation evolves.
We are also working closely with the Government, our suppliers and industry trade associations to ensure contingency in the supply of fuel.
