Whistl opens new Scottish depot

Whistl has officially opened its new 54,000 square foot Scottish depot in in Tannochside. The new depot, which employs 150 people, has triple the capacity of the Coatbridge facility which it replaces.

Whistl has operated in Scotland over the past nine years and collects and sorts an average of 2m items of mail a week before handing over to Royal Mail for delivery.  Across the UK, the company handles 3.75bn items of mail per year.

The company collects mail and packets from 250 individual collection points across Scotland, with 1,200 clients in the public and private sector, including Aegon and Standard Life.

Commenting on the new facility, Nick Wells, CEO of Whistl, said: “The tripling of our capacity in Scotland with Tannochside will allow Whistl to further expand our customer base and continue to provide a high quality and cost efficient service.  We are delighted to be investing further in Scotland, enabling more businesses and the public sector to benefit from our cost efficient postal solutions and dedicated Account Management. This investment demonstrates our commitment to and leading role within the UK postal market.”
