One of Scotland’s leading delivery firms has opened a new hub in what it is calling “the gateway to the north” of the country’s logistics industry.
M&H Carriers has opened a new delivery hub in Perth with a 15,000sqft warehouse and significant 1.5 acre on-site yard space. The move will see the firm increase its fleet with over 10 new vehicles, creating jobs and forging stronger logistical links across the country and between its existing hubs.
Managing director Fraser MacLean said: “Perth is the gateway to the north of Scotland, connecting strategic population centres like Aberdeen, Inverness and Oban – and remote and rural communities – to the rest of the country.
“Our new hub in Perth will give customers greater access to the whole country, whether they are moving pallets, freight and parcels north or south – strengthening our network and creating new opportunities for growth.”
The new site in Perth is M&H Carriers’ fifth delivery hub – joining its headquarters in Aberdeen, and hubs in Inverness, Dundee and Argyll. The site boasts a substantial yard and warehousing facility – allowing the firm to increase its delivery capacity in Perth and Dundee and also trunking capacity to all of its northern locations.
From here, businesses and individuals will be able to send parcels, pallets and two-person products across Scotland, and onward into the rest of the UK and beyond.
Operations are supported across Scotland by a network of 14 satellite depots, allowing the firm to provide higher levels of service to rural and remote communities. New depots have been opened in Invergordon, Broadford, Aviemore and Lochgilphead.
Experienced logistics professional Stephen Jamieson has joined M&H Carriers to head up the new Perth delivery hub, working closely with existing Perth and Dundee general manager, Thomas Gardiner.
Fraser added: “We’re proud to work closely with SMEs across Scotland, as well as national carrier networks, and all will benefit from our strategic new site in Perth. We’ll be able to offer far more streamlined delivery services, and handle a greater volume of freight and parcels across Scotland than ever before.”
Sophia Miller, asset manager at Urban Logistics REIT plc, commented: “We are delighted to welcome M&H Carriers, one of Scotland’s leading logistics firms, as our latest client. We look forward to a long working relationship with Fraser and the team at M&H Carriers, as they strengthen logistical links between the north and south of the country.”
