🚴♂️ Hats off to our Western Isles Glasgow Depot Manager, Neil Morrison, for completing another annual Butt to Barra charity cycle last week! Neil joined 32 other determined cyclists on this epic 175-mile journey from the Butt of Lewis to Barra. This incredible challenge has raised a whopping combined total of over £27k for two amazing causes: the Bethesda Hospice and the Crossroads Lewis charity. Despite battling through tough Hebridean weather, the group reached Barra in high spirits! We are proud to support and provide transport of bikes and equipment for another great event for the Western Isles community. It's not too late to support the teams amazing efforts - use the links below to make a donation.

On Friday I collected one of our etrucks from the Multimodal Expo at the NEC in Birmingham and drove it to our site in Larkhall. After an initial boost at the BP Pulse where I met the team from Malcolm Logistics I stopped at the EV Point HGV charger at Rivington Services for a quick charge taking the battery to 100% which would see me arrive at DFDS Larkhall on 22%. The truck was impressive to drive and the charger at Rivington was exceptional! Now to work with local government to expand the infrastructure and explore possible options to utilise our struck fleet. DFDS Freight Ferries and Logistics Volvo Trucks UK #dfds

Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes MSP and Scottish National Party (SNP) Hamilton and Clyde Valley candidate Cllr Ross Clark were on the election campaign trail in #Larkhall at the weekend. DFDS Logistics Scotland’s managing director Greg van Hombergh and Salmon Scotland's head of communications Andrew Watson hosted the Deputy First Minister at DFDS’s impressive chilled food distribution facility, where the vast majority of #Scottishsalmon and #seafood from Scotland is shipped to customers here in the UK and right across the world. During her visit the Deputy First Minister vowed to protect Scotland's #foodanddrink industries like the Scottish salmon sector, which exported £581m worth of salmon in 2023 making Scottish salmon the country's largest food export. As well as meeting workers at the facility, Ms Forbes also got behind the wheel of one of DFDS’s new electric trucks, part of a fleet of electric vehicles that will reduce emissions and help DFDS to become #netzero. Ms Forbes’ Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch constituency contains a number of salmon farms operated by Bakkafrost Scotland, Loch Duart Salmon, Mowi Scotland, Organic Sea Harvest Ltd and Scottish Sea Farms.
