FuelQ®

In an era where diesel costs can make or break a business’s bottom line, FuelQ has emerged as a game-changing solution for UK businesses and high-mileage drivers wrestling with rising fuel expenses. Founded in 2023, this innovative platform isn’t just another fuel card – it’s a comprehensive solution that’s revolutionising how businesses and professionals manage their fuel costs, particularly for those spending over £75 weekly on diesel.

The Genesis: Born from Real-World Experience

The story of FuelQ began with a simple observation: while large corporations had access to sophisticated fuel management tools and casual drivers could rely on supermarket fuel cards, there was a significant gap in the market. Small businesses, sole traders, and high-mileage professionals were caught between solutions that were either too basic or needlessly complex.

“We noticed that business drivers were being forced to choose between limiting themselves to supermarket fuel stations or dealing with corporate systems that weren’t designed for them,” explains Killian Coyne, FuelQ’s founder and CEO. “These professionals needed something that combined the simplicity of consumer apps with the power of business fuel management systems.”

Breaking Down the Numbers

The impact of FuelQ’s approach is evident in the results:
– Average vehicle saves £300+ in their first year
– Access to over 7,000 fuel stations nationwide
– Fuel savings of up to 12p per litre at participating stations
– Elimination of receipt hoarding and expense claims
