The Fuelcard People, which supplies discount cards for company car users with brands such as BP, Esso and Shell, has re-located its headquarters to Wantage.

General manager Steve Clarke said: “Having enjoyed success and growth ever since the company began, we outgrew our original location.

“The easy option would have been a move to larger premises within that business centre, but we re-evaluated what we want from a headquarters.

“Wantage ticked all the boxes for The Fuelcard People. For many of us, this represents a homecoming, having worked in Wantage with a previous employer.”

The decision has been confirmed by continuing success. Since completing the move during March, the company has recruited three more account managers locally to handle growing demand.

When Mr Clarke established The Fuelcard People in early 2008, he hand-picked former colleagues to join him, and it was always the intention that the original base, in Abingdon, would only be temporary.

The company is now permanently established in Manor Farm Barn on Manor Road, Wantage. The new offices have been fitted out with the state-of-the-art systems.

“Wantage is a growing town with a lot to offer any business,” he said.

“It is the perfect location from which to serve our ever-increasing nationwide customer base, so if Wantage was good enough for Alfred the Great, it is good enough for us.”
