Motherwell will start to replace Gist’s existing transport operation in nearby Bellshill from September this year.

At 80,000 sq ft, the site will enable further growth in Gist's rapidly growing temperature-controlled food logistics network. The new site is strategically located at the heart of Scotland's motorway system and is ideally placed to enable Gist to service its food manufacturer and food retail clients.

Martin Gwynn, CEO, says: “We are always looking to build on our successful customer partnerships and the Motherwell site allows us the space to grow our business in Scotland. We look forward to announcing new contract wins in the near future and creating new job opportunities in the area.”
