Thornton Le Moor
Oil Syndicate
Borrowby/Hillside Oil Group
A number of local villages have an established group buying scheme for domestic heating oil which aims to provide a competitive and convenient method for residents to obtain their fuel oil. It is run entirely by volunteers at no additional cost to homeowners. Thornton le Moor is part of this buying group.
The group negotiates with suppliers approximately every two months and places a bulk order after collating the orders of our individual members. You receive details of the winning company & the agreed price and the likely delivery dates. Oil is then delivered within a week or so. You then receive an invoice and pay the oil supplier directly following delivery
We run the system by email, and members receive an invitation to place an order together with a cut-off date by which all orders must be received.
No orders are placed outside the schedule.
If you don’t require oil, you simply ignore the email; there being no obligation whatsoever.
Minimum order is 500 litres; you can specify a fixed quantity or request a tank fill. You must ensure that your tank can accommodate the oil quantity you ask for. We do cater for AGA additive should you need this, but you must advise this when ordering.
If you wish to join the scheme, please provide your details and I will add you to the membership list.
