PRESS ARCHIVE

Owen Fuels, the largest fuels distributor in Wales, has partnered with ReD Fuel Cards (Europe), a subsidiary of Retail Decisions Ltd, to launch a fuel card.

Colin Owens, General Manager and founder of Owen Fuels commented: ‘The launch coincides with our TV ad campaign which is being screened throughout the Welsh Rugby Union Four Regions, due to start on the 31st August. Starting today, we’re sponsoring the first match of the season, between the Cardiff Blues and Ospreys at the Arms Park. We’re equally passionate about our customers, people and Welsh rugby, so it makes perfect sense to feature the Owen Fuels ReD Card during the matches. We pride ourselves in supporting all four regions based on our strength across Wales.’

Paul Holland, MD of ReD Fuel Cards (Europe) said: ‘We’re delighted to be working with Owen Fuels, the largest fuels distributor in Wales. ReD’s expansive site network gives Owen Fuels ReD Card the opportunity to become the commercial vehicle fuel card of choice.’

Colin Owens went on to say: ‘Applications for the new card have been rolling in and the uptake has been phenomenal. We’re pleased to be able to give our customers the Owen Fuels’ ReD Card, backed by the professional support of the team at ReD.’
