Hoyer Petrolog extends Puma Energy UK deal

Hoyer Petrolog UK has agreed a five-year extension to its contract with Puma Energy UK.

The agreement, which involves deliveries of bitumen on behalf of the energy firm’s subsidiary Puma Bitumen from the Stolthaven Dagenham terminal and ABP South Wales’s Newport South Dock, will also see Hoyer developing its operations with the addition of a further five HGVs.

The contract was extended with a tender process, which Hoyer said reflected its high customer service and safety performance.

Jonathan Lawrence, Hoyer Petrolog UK operations director, said: “The extension of this contact is excellent news for Hoyer, securing significant turnover per year and providing job security to staff, managers and drivers associated with this business.

“Puma’s willingness to renew this contract without going to tender is testament to the strong relationship we have, underpinned by an excellent SHEQ and customer service performance.”

Sean Salt, Puma Bitumen’s UK commercial operations and logistics manager, said: “The past year has certainly presented exceptional circumstances to challenge a physical, logistics dependent, business.

“Despite these challenges, and with a mutual respect, close co-operation, and a belief in constant improvement and new innovation, Puma Energy UK Ltd and Hoyer Petrolog continue to drive forward a thriving business together.”
