Robert’s father had been a loyal Certas Energy customer for many years, so through his recommendation, Fairfield Farm Crisps approached Certas Energy for a solution.
With the Certas Energy team’s expert knowledge of the agricultural sector and understanding of the demands placed on farms during the busy harvest season, they developed a bespoke fuel management package that suited the needs of the farm. Certas Energy introduced its telemetry technology to the farm’s 10,000 litre steel tank to ensure that their fuel needs would be met during busy periods when the farm’s team needed peace of mind.
During busier times of year, such as the summer and harvest season, Fairfields Farm can get through between 100-200,000 litres of fuel which is a huge volume and they can’t afford to run out. The telemetry system monitors fuel supplies 24/7 and automatically triggers a delivery when fuel levels reach 50 per cent. A delivery is then made from either Certas Energy’s Sudbury or Ipswich depots. This means Robert and his team don’t need to do anything to guarantee a safe, reliable and secure fuel supply and is much more accurate than the side gauge.
The fuel management solution from Certas Energy also included a monthly payment plan. These monthly payments mean that Fairfield Farm Crisps is able to plan its monthly outgoings, by knowing exactly how much its fuel bill will be, allowing them to invest more within the business – including new product expansions and new flavour collaborations with other brands.
