Travelling far and wide with our fuel delivery and management services, Refuelling Solutions has had the privilege of visiting many regional communities across Australia and wanted to involve ourselves in supporting these local towns. Through our various initiatives and customer connections, we’ve been able to specifically provide support to rural areas throughout Victoria and South Australia. 

In this article, we’ll delve into why community engagement is a cornerstone of our operations and highlight our active involvement with various local groups across the country.

Providing dedicated support for local communities

Besides offering reliable fuel transport services to rural localities and responding to their bulk fuel needs, we try to find other ways to give back to the community. That’s where our Business Development Executives (BDEs) come in. They don’t just act as facilitators of business; they seek out different initiatives and come back to head office with propositions for local support. This proactive approach allows us to tailor our contributions to meet the most pressing needs of these communities and give back where it matters most.

Championing youth and local sports clubs

We believe in the transformative power of team sports to shape young lives and are proud to support local sports teams, especially those involving young children. Our sponsorship provides essential resources, including sports uniforms and equipment proudly displaying the RFS logo, fostering team spirit and strengthening community pride. Beyond this, we actively enhance our support by placing banners and signage at local sports fields. These prominently feature our Maxi-Tankers, BDEs' names, and contact information, ensuring our presence is both visible and supportive throughout the year, helping these clubs continue to thrive.

Field days and community events

Field days are a crucial platform for our engagement, allowing us to connect directly with rural communities across the various states. Although COVID-19 impacted attendance and the frequency of these events, we’re committed to making a strong return as they continue to open back up. Field day events in rural towns, such as Henty and Elmore, are significant investments and essential for maintaining our visibility and relationships. During these events, our tents serve as hubs for meet-and-greet opportunities, helping to create new connections and solidify long-standing relationships.

The importance of building long-term relationships

In country towns, relationships are not just important; they’re essential to business. The loyalty we cultivate at community events and through continuous engagements ensures that once a community member chooses Refuelling Solutions, they feel well-supported right from the start. Our ongoing presence at field days and continuous support across various sporting clubs play a critical role in nurturing these connections and creating lasting relationships.
