Central Belt
EH · G · ML · KY · FK
Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling and the Kingdom of Fife. Same-day Express and pre-12 pallet to every postcode, six days a week.
Coverage area
Twelve depots. From Inverness to Carlisle.
We do one geography very well rather than every geography poorly. Heatherstone runs as a regional network — drivers know their ground, dispatchers know the back roads, depots are close enough that no shipment travels through more than two of them.
