Forest Fuels Ltd Joins Forces with No 1 UK Pellet Supplier

Forest Fuels Ltd, the leading wood fuel supply company in the South West, is pleased to announce a new partnership with the UKs No 1 manufacturer and supplier of wood pellets, Balcas. Under the Brites pellet brand name, the partners will work together to develop the fast growing pellet market in the South West. 

Forest Fuels Ltd has built a distribution & supply network throughout
the South West Region to provide wood fuel to its wide range of public and private sector customers from seven distribution depots spread across the region. Customers include the NHS, several MOD sites, a number of schools, care homes, the Eden Project and many private residential and commercial  enterprises.   In addition, the company has a dedicated administrative staff to co-ordinate and process orders and supplies to its long-term customers to ensure a reliable wood fuel supply infrastructure.  The company also prides itself upon ensuring quality control in all its wood fuel products supplying material to the required fuel specification and moisture content of its customers.  The Brites pellet brand complements the range of products and services provided by this dedicated and professional fuel supply team.  The partnership represents a further strengthening of  Forest Fuels’ service and brand and will further support the expansion of wood fuel use in the South West.

Stewart Boyle, Business Development Manager for Balcas Brites said: "we are delighted to be partnering with Forest Fuels. Although we supply pellets direct to most parts of the UK and have a growing fleet of specialist pneumatic delivery vehicles, we felt there was good synergy in the South West between ourselves and Forest Fuels. They have worked hard to develop quality wood chip fuel at decent prices and are seeking to grow the market through client confidence and stable pricing. We believe that we can bring more affordable pellet prices and greater consistency in quality to the market. We will initially supply bulk pellets both direct to clients and via Forest Fuels for smaller project sites."
