Lucy explained that the planning team put in place by Abbey has
signifi cant experience in the sector and its unique characteristics. In
addition, Abbey has selected drivers with considerable experience in
liquid animal feed.
“The current animal feed transport market is relatively regionalised
and we aim to offer customers a nationwide solution due to the
existing Abbey infrastructure which will provide our customers with
a more robust national supply chain,” she said. www.abbeylogisticsgroup.com www.hoyer-group.com

of Europe’s leading manufacturers for more than 20 years

oyer’s Petrolog division is one of the leading transport
and logistics services providers for the mineral oil
industry in ten European countries. This includes making jet
fuel deliveries to airports and also directly into aircraft.
As such Hoyer reports positive business developments in this
sector through the signing of new contracts with Air BP and WFS
(World Fuel Services) in the UK as well as with Total Deutschland in
Germany, and is extending the contract in Ireland with Valero
Energy at Dublin airport.
In 2018, Petrolog was awarded a contract with Air BP for fuel
deliveries to 96 airports throughout the UK. Hoyer undertakes the
whole of Air BP’s delivery logistics, including monitoring of stocks,
generating and receiving orders, and delivery. WFS (World Fuel
Services) has signed a three-year contract to supply four airports
across the North of the UK. Furthermore, Petrolog has been
supplying aviation fuel daily to Berlin Tegel Airport in Germany on
behalf of Total Deutschland since late August 2018.
Petrolog director Mark Binns commented: “Expansion of our
involvement in aviation fuel supply is an important strategic step for
Petrolog.”
Valero Energy has also decided to extend the aircraft refuelling
contract with Hoyer that has existed since 2000. Petrolog will
continue to undertake refuelling of aircraft at Dublin airport until
the end of 2020.
Another Hoyer division Chemilog also helps to ensure smooth air
traffi c. During the winter months, the business unit not only
supplies several airports with de-icing agents for runways, but the
division also covers almost the entire Europe-wide logistics for a
leading manufacturer of aircraft de-icing agents. Due to the
unpredictable and often short-term demand, Hoyer offers a 24/7
on-call service and thus guarantees delivery times within a few
hours.

bbey Logistics has launched a new dedicated animal feed
tanker division, focused on providing bulk transport and
logistics for liquid animal feed across the UK.
Abbey is no stranger to the animal feed sector and has provided
road tanker transport for some of Europe’s leading manufacturers
for more than 20 years. This latest move has enabled the company
to dedicate more vehicles and tankers to the animal feed sector and
crucially puts in place a dedicated support team consisting of
planning and commercial functions that will concentrate solely on
customers in this sector.
The logistics fi rm has a transport and depot network in place
throughout the UK that supports its key contracts with volume
fl uctuation and seasonal demand variance; this expertise has proved
highly effective in serving existing liquid animal feed customers and
the creation of a dedicated division was a natural progression.
Abbey’s ability to provide extensive and tailored management
information, forecasting, dynamic ETA updates and live tracking,
combined with its modern and reliable fl eet has been met positively
by customers and the company is now looking to establish these
added value services and high standards in the animal feed sector,
where it believes there is a strong appetite for providing more value
to customers than just A–B transport.
Sophie Lucy, Abbey’s animal feed commercial manager, said: “Our
new division signals Abbey’s intent and commitment to customers in
the animal feed sector which we hope to develop over the coming
years.
“We know from the feedback we get from customers in other
sectors how much value is placed on having a dedicated planning
resource, customer service contact and tailored management
information and we are now replicating this with our animal feed
customers. The benefi ts our customers can expect include greater
