Why Portland
Our credentials
Stability from Volatility
Portland excels with over 15 years of experience in the fuel industry, providing comprehensive and innovative solutions tailored to your specific needs. We offer a diverse range of services, including fixed price fuel, carbon reduction strategies, and market analysis, designed to help you effectively navigate the complexities of the fuel market.
Here are some of the reasons why you should consider working with us:
Our team has always been made up of professionals who have bought, sold, transported and stored fuel for all of their careers. We not only understand this industry in detail but are passionate about it.
Uniquely, we are able to offer long-term fixed prices on small to medium-sized fuel volumes. Previously, the ability to lock in a price was the preserve of only the very largest fuel purchasers. We have democratized the fixed price offer.
Conversely, we have worked with some of the world’s largest transportation companies, gas station operators and public transit organizations, as well as governments and city municipalities. We are trusted to deliver.
We are a member of the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada (PMTC) and Ontario Public Transit Association (OPTA). These respected organizations trust in our ability to serve them and their members.
We have a proud history of recruiting graduates and school leavers, providing them with a broad experience of our business and enabling them to become dedicated industry specialists.
We never over-promise nor under-deliver. We believe in keeping things simple in our quest to always create stability from volatility.
about us
Our History
Portland was set up in 2009 by James Spencer, who joined the energy sector straight from Cambridge University in 1994. The business started as a specialized hedging provider (The Fuel Trading Company Ltd), offering budgetary certainty to companies with an exposure to movements in the price of fuel.
Our energy market presence increased throughout the following decade and beyond with the incorporation of three more UK companies – Portland Analytics, Portland CSO and Portland Fuel, plus the purchase of UK Diesel Exhaust Fluid producer Noxdown Ltd. In 2019, we opened our office in Hamilton, Ontario, offering diesel hedging, expert advisory services and a carbon compensation service.
With each company came a wider service offering, growing our capability naturally as Portland has become more deeply connected with our clients’ businesses. We are proud that we still count many of our original customers as long-term partners to this day, and that we have been able to recruit so many more along the way.
