BUSINESS is on an upward trajectory at West Lothian storage and distribution company Spring Distribution (Scotland) which is creating six new jobs in response to record demand for its services.
Bathgate-based Spring Distribution, a third-generation family business providing warehousing, logistics and distribution services, saw a 12 per cent increase in turnover in 2020 thanks to a record number of new customers and “surprising new customer trends” sparked by the impact of Brexit, including an increase in the storage of raw materials and foodstuffs which the firm says could lead to further business expansion.
Managing director Lesley Ward said: “We have been inundated with new fulfilment enquiries as a result of Brexit and are looking to establish a new fulfilment division if we continue to experience this level of demand.
