Glynn’s skip hire is a major operator providing waste recycling services from depots covering ten London Borough Councils. As its fleet operations have grown, the company is now purchasing its diesel supplies in bulk. Storage tanks have been installed at each of the company’s depot facilities in Wembley and Neasden.
“This investment allows us to take advantage of falling diesel prices , says proprietor Bert Glynn. “Apart from being able to negotiate bulk prices, depot fuelling is much more convenient and we are saving time taken up by visiting agency outlets.”
Currently Glynn’s Skips has 28 vehicles mostly trucks but also vans and company cars on the service. Overall consumption for the fleet is running at around 1,000 litres a day.

Bert concludes by saying: “Keeping track on individual vehicles is quite straightforward. I simply call up the Merridale screen and click on the relevant line to see how much fuel has been used and the mpg fuel consumption figures.

Marcus, who leads operations for the internet provider said “We needed a temporary […]
With Merridale’s own range now available, as well as still supplying Gilbarco with fuel management units, the marketplace had the choice of buying either a complete Merridale built package or a Gilbarco built version of the same management system. However, over the decades that followed, Merridale enhanced its product range by introducing true twin units, […]
