Lockdown 2 certainly hasn’t stopped us here at Direct Distribution.
We’ve been working away all this time carrying all kinds of different jobs including door drop distribution for clients like Renfrewshire Council, Falkirk community trust and even a recent fulfilment and mailout of whisky miniatures for our friends at CalMac Ferries Burns Night celebrations. A tough gig for those of us who were attempting to have a dry January!

Statement: September 2020
Direct Distribution's response for our customers:
We feel that this straightforward, definitive statement is doubly re-assuring given the cautious, science-led approach adopted by the Scottish Government. The Association of Scottish Self Caterers, Scottish Tourism Alliance and ASVA have adopted the same approach and have published the clarification in their latest update to members.
