Trevigro Oil Buying Group


The Trevigro Domestic Oil Buying Group is a community group operating in South Hill and adjacent parishes. It is a free service run by Kim Howat who can be reached at 384054 (email w.howat1@btinternet.com).

The group is run with the minimum of bureaucracy by e-mail. A member needing oil e-mails Kim with the quantity and date it is needed by. He then seeks orders from other members. Quotes are then sought from up to 6 suppliers for the Group order. The Supplier with the lowest price is given the name and contact telephone number of those wanting the oil.

The supplier will usually then contact each buyer for payment and delivery instructions. Occasionally the supplier asks the buyers to contact them.

The Group’s minimum order is 4000 litres, the individual minimum order is 500 litres. From experience the prices of oil quoted can vary by as much as 4p ex VAT per litre between suppliers
