PalletFORCE member, Gordon Leslie, growth underlined by move

Posted by | Nov 12, 2007 | |

Scottish transport company – and Member Depot of the PalletFORCE palletised distribution network – Gordon Leslie Distribution has moved into a new site to enhance the service it can offer to customers.
The move came after an intensive period of growth at Gordon Leslie. The company has recently completed its third year of trading since returning to family ownership; during that time sales have risen from GBP 2.5m to GBP 5.5m. At the same time, long term Gordon Leslie customer and partner London City Bond – a supplier of bonded warehouse facilities to the wine trade – required an expansion of service. Goods are stored under bond and transported from London to Glasgow by Gordon Leslie, from where its distribution fleet conducts onward delivery to hotels, restraunts and trade centres throughout Scotland.
The 110,000 sq ft depot is built on 6½ acres of land at Hillington Park, Scotland’s largest park. Strategically located on the M8 corridor between Glasgow City Centre and Glasgow International, it is ideally placed for Gordon Leslie’s needs. The company has invested in significant refurbishment and security of the site to protect both its fleet and warehoused goods.
