Dear Customer,
As you may be aware, recent geopolitical developments in the Middle East, particularly the ongoing situation involving Iran, have led to increased volatility within global fuel markets. Whilst we had previously moved to reviewing our fuel surcharge on a monthly basis as market conditions stabilised, the current uncertainty has resulted in more frequent fluctuations in fuel prices.
To ensure that our fuel surcharge continues to accurately reflect these changing costs, we will be reverting to weekly fuel surcharge reviews, effective from 3 August 2026.
This change allows us to respond more fairly and transparently to movements in fuel prices, ensuring that any increases or decreases are passed on in a timely manner rather than being averaged over a longer period.
As always, our fuel surcharge will continue to be calculated using our published fuel surcharge mechanism and will be communicated weekly.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions regarding this change, please don’t hesitate to contact your usual B M Stafford & Sons representative.
