Another site for Scotland’s Bullet Express

[ February 8, 2023   //   ]

Bullet Express is opening a new, 44,000sq ft Airport Logistics and Training Centre at Westway Park, next to Glasgow Airport.

It follows opening of a 67,000sq ft storage facility last year at Westway, one of Scotland’s largest, fully enclosed industrial distribution and office parks. This new £1 million-plus investment takes Bullet Express’s total storage capacity to 600,000sq ft, with 40,000 pallets under management and more than 550,000 pallets delivered annually.

Bullet Express’s workforce has almost doubled over the past 20 months to 150 people and the new site will also house the company’s new 3,000sq ft Training Academy. It will be used for management and staff development as well as in-house training for over 100 drivers and warehouse teams.

The Airport Logistics and Training Centre will create a total of eight new jobs, expected to increase to 25 over the coming 12 months.

The company said that while it is a general storage facility, Bullet Express would use it to support its air freight customers, with further developments potentially to come.

Managing director, John McKail (pictured) commented: “This new Airport Logistics and Training Centre adds another dimension to the Bullet Express business as we connect supply chains on a global basis for an ever-growing number of global brands.

“Investments like these are essential, given the ongoing demands from our wide range of customers. Our people remain central to our success and our Training Academy will enable us to attract and retain the best people from the industry and future-proof our workforce with our own training facility that supports their ongoing development.”
