A LEADING Scottish distribution firm has partnered with a nationwide retailer to expand its warehousing capacity and cater for an increase in demand for deliveries in the Northeast of Scotland.
M&H Carriers has reached a deal with John Lewis to make use of its Aberdeen warehouse, allowing the logistics firm to expand its operations in the region. Under the arrangement, the John Lewis team will handle all warehousing, picking and loading of M&H Carriers’ home deliveries in the Northeast.
M&H Carriers has recently hired three new two-man crews across the country and is actively recruiting for delivery drivers at all its depots – with plans for all locations to have two-man teams operating by the end of the year.
Home delivery manager Mike Buchan said: “The demand for two-man deliveries has gone through the roof over the last few months as shopping habits continue to change and more people are ordering large and bulky items online.
“By moving into these new premises, we are not only able to provide a greater delivery service to customers across the north of Scotland – but we have also been able to help provide work and employment for all those who worked in the warehouse while John Lewis’ Aberdeen store was open.
“We’ve had a long relationship with John Lewis, having carried out their local deliveries for a number of years. This is the first time they have partnered with an external business in this way, so we are delighted to have this opportunity to expand our operations and enhance our service offering.”
