Set the depot budget

Fleet, fuel, people and property costs for next year, agreed against the volume forecast.

1. Get volume forecasts from the sales team
2. Get fleet lease, fuel and maintenance costs
3. Check vehicle leases ending next year. Most people forget this: Leases that end mid year mean a big jump in cost that nobody planned
4. Draft staff costs with overtime and agency drivers
5. Draft property and system costs
6. Compare cost per drop with last year
7. Present the budget (Finance director signs off)
