Scottish 3PL provider Northwards has announced it is to build a new 20,000 square foot transportation depot in Aberdeen. Northwards has partially raised the £2 million funding through the Royal Bank of Scotland, that contributed £800,000.

The new facility is located and will supplement the existing unit at Aberdeen Harbour. It is a significant investment for Northwards and is part of its expansion strategy: “The acquisition of a new transportation depot is an important step in our expansion and we’re grateful to Royal Bank of Scotland for supporting our investment. The new facility will enable us to continue to enhance and grow the portfolio of services available to our customers while creating new jobs for the surrounding areas,” said Northwards managing director Michael Porter.
