Transport company offers businesses a helping hand

A Highland-based transport company with a depot in Helmsdale is doing what it can to support local businesses by offering competitive pricing on local parcel deliveries.

Apart from Helmsdale, M&H Carriers also has depots in Aberdeen, Inverness and Dundee and has now slashed its costs in a bid "to help fellow local businesses operate in such challenging times".

With the countdown now on for Christmas many businesses will be sending a higher volume of parcels as online orders increase.

M&H Carriers is encouraging both individuals and businesses in the far north to register an account with them to benefit from lower local delivery costs.

The company's managing director, Fraser Maclean, said: "With Christmas coming and the likelihood that online orders will be higher than previous years, we want to offer a competitive rate to local businesses looking to deliver within their local area.

"It’s so important for businesses to support one another during these turbulent times and hopefully the reduction in cost will help local companies with their online sales."

For local deliveries the price is as little as £4.95 for up to 25kg. The lower rates will be available when delivering within the catchment area of the M&H Carriers depot.

The plan is for further areas to be rolled out by M&H Carriers in 2021. Existing clients will also benefit from the lower rates.

Anyone looking to find out more information about the company's services, should contact any of the depots directly or visit its website at www.mhcarriers.co.uk
