Tranent coverage and response times

We're regularly collecting in Tranent, Prestonpans, Elphinstone, Macmerry and the surrounding East Lothian villages, with the A1 running right past the town giving a quick 20-minute run into Edinburgh and onward access south towards Newcastle. Edinburgh Airport is typically reachable within around 40 minutes.

Industries we move every day in Tranent

Tranent's mining and weaving history has given way to light industrial units around Macmerry, agricultural trade across East Lothian's farmland, and a steady flow of work tied to Edinburgh's food and drink and distribution sectors just down the A1. We also handle urgent parts and document runs for local trades and small manufacturers.
