Dunbar coverage and response times

Dunbar sits on the A1 where it meets the East Lothian coast, giving our drivers a fast trunk route in both directions. We typically collect in the town, West Barns and Spott within 20–30 minutes, with East Linton, Innerwick and the villages toward Haddington covered in around 30–40 minutes. The A1 runs north-west to Edinburgh in around 40 minutes and south toward Berwick and the Borders, while the A199 and A6093 serve the local East Lothian network.

Industries we move every day in Dunbar

The area has a distinctive industrial mix: Torness nuclear power station and the long-established cement works drive demand for time-critical engineering and plant parts, while the rich farmland of East Lothian keeps us moving grain, produce and agricultural supplies. We also carry for food and drink producers, quarrying and construction, and the coastal tourism trade — handling urgent components, documents and samples around the clock.
