ABOUT
Founded in 1981, the company now operates around 55 large commercial vehicles, plus around 85 trailers, supplemented with smaller vans for local deliveries; and employs over 100 people throughout the Western Isles, Inverness, Skye and Glasgow – making the island-based business a truly nationwide company.
Although our headquarters are in Stornoway and people might associate the lorries just with Stornoway, the larger fleet operates from the mainland depots. Incorporating not only general haulage but distribution on behalf of national supermarkets such as Tesco and the Cooperative throughout the islands from Skye and the Uists into the Islands of Lewis of Harris.
The vehicles are a moving billboard, highlighting the company's distinctive livery which is a regular sight on the UK roads. Our vehicles are often used for marketing purposes by several truck manufacturers, as well as featuring on a regular basis in trade magazines. Our distinctive livery has even attracted the attention of Corgi diecast models and other model manufacturers to be the subject for several ranges of model vehicle.
