Fuel the Future: Logistics Must Learn When to Hedge Their Bets
The fuel market is ruled by supply and demand, which is heavily impacted by external factors. Extreme weather, political tensions or tariff and trade discussions can change the price of fuel overnight. Fuel makes up a considerable proportion of outgoings for logistics firms. UK logistics firms are grappling with a constant pressure to try and predict what's around the corner. But trying to plan finances for the next year, let alone the next week, when fuel prices might change even while you're sleeping is near impossible.
Enter Attara. Attara is an FCA-authorised financial services firm that specialises in commodity risk management, with a strong focus on fuel hedging for the UK transport and logistics sector. We work with hauliers, operators, and logistics providers to manage exposure to fuel price volatility through simple, tailored hedging strategies.
These run in parallel with existing purchasing arrangements, giving clients full control of their finances and allowing them to focus on what matters most: running their business. Financial technology has enabled us to open up access to simple hedging solutions to companies that have previously been priced out of the market. Traditionally reserved for larger conglomerates and multinationals, Attara provides hedging support across conventional fuels like diesel and kerosene as well as the growing Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) market.
Founded by industry professionals with deep expertise in energy markets and regulation, Attara offers a hands-on, client-first approach to fuel risk management so that businesses can plan confidently and protect their bottom line. Want to learn more?
