A message from our Managing Director

I would like to thank all of our customers for your continued support and partnership.
We appreciate it. 

At Business Fuel Cards we are committed to delivering the best possible levels of customer service that we can. It’s important that we listen to our clients; understanding your experience allows us to make changes and exceed your expectations. With this in mind, we have engaged an external research company to conduct a brief survey on our behalf.

You will be receiving an email from us on or around 28^th August, inviting you to participate in the survey. Completing it will take approximately 10 minutes of your time.

We would be very grateful if you are able to share your thoughts, so that we can use these as part of Business Fuel Card’s continuous improvement process.

Many thanks,

Michael ShurlinManaging Director, FLEETCOR Australasia
