Group Buying Schemes in the Yorkshire Dales

Money Saving Offers

Bulk buying of fuel

Several members have asked for help to join with other members to purchase inputs and services more cheaply.We currently offer the option of buying fuel together (white/red diesel and heating oil.) In the Yorkshire Dales we are trialing ordering once a month by a certain date (normally towards the end of each month.) Our Coordinator takes your order details and comes back to you with a price before the order is confirmed. Typical savings are £200 - £500 per year as a result of fuel companies being able to save transport costs and of course bulk buying costs bring the unit cost down.

We also have a contact with a broker to buy electricity on a national scale

Both the above services are included within the membership fee, at the moment.The Network does not make any money from these services, we simply work to find members the best price. As there are many buying groups in the Yorkshire Dales, we do not anticipate moving into other purchase areas, but this depends on demand from members.

Further details can be found in the 'Members' section of the website.
