Bullet Express

Bullet Express Scotland's premier distribution and logistics company for over 30 years. Bullet Express were founded in 1990 by the partners David McCutcheon and Gary Smith.

David and Gary started Bullet Express with 2 vans delivering sameday items all over the United Kingdom. As the business grew in the first few years, the company started to look for regular steady work as well as the panic deliveries. This led Bullet onto nightly trunking to Ireland and ultimately England and Wales. This has grown to be the major part of Bullet's business and as a result we now tru

nk to and from nightly to Aberdeen, Inverness, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Belfast, and Dublin. Daily Collections or deliveries can be made in all these locations any day of the week. As a member of Pall-Ex. The UK’s no 1 network we are one of over 80 depots UK wide , all with 1st class facilities for freight delivery and collection. IT has over the years become a major focus for Bullet Express and this focus now allows over 80% of booking to be done on-line. Those same customers track on line and have the ability to retrieve p.o.d.’s within 5 seconds of a delivery being made. At our Glasgow depot we are open 24 hours a day for our nightly trunks. This enables us to take deliveries throughout the night for hauliers or carriers from all over the UK for next day or timed delivery. We deliver into Europe on a regular basis for many blue chip clients. These jobs are door to door and can be tracked on any of our satellite tracked vehicles at all times. Our fleet of over 30 vehicles range from small vans to 40ft trailers all available at a moment’s notice from anywhere in the UK. For specialist vehicles our special services department is available 24hrs a day to provide small vans, large luton vans, trailers , HI-AB vehicles and 26T rigids with on board fork lifts.

This remarkable initiative will see the participation of over 2,900 cyclists, united in a dedicated effort to raise awareness and funds for cancer charities.

Here, we are proud of the amazing work our team does every day, and we thought it would be fun to hear directly from them!

We asked Gareth, who is an instrumental member of our storage team to share some insight into his role. Check out his answers below!!

What is your role at Bullet Express?
"Storage Administration Team Leader"

How long have you been at Bullet Express?
"3 Years"

What’s the most rewarding part of your work here?
"At Bullet, we focus on developing strong rapport with a wide and diverse customer base, ensuring efficient and productive working relationships that benefit both our clients and our team."

What motivates you to come to work each day?
"I’m motivated by the challenge of continually proving myself in a professional environment. In my current role, I've had the opportunity to take on more responsibilities and develop new skills—both individually and alongside my team. It's been incredibly fulfilling, and I’m constantly growing and evolving, aiming to be better for myself and for the team."

What advice would you give to someone starting in your position?
"My advice would be: be yourself and build your own rapport with the customer base. Don’t be afraid to bring your ideas and personality into the role. Most importantly, always be willing to learn—ask questions, and don’t fear making mistakes, because that’s how we grow. And remember, don’t let the demands of the job or customers overwhelm you. Delegate tasks and communicate clearly and efficiently with your team."

If your job had a theme song, what would it be?
"‘One Step Beyond’ by Madness! I chose this song because, as a team, we always go a step beyond to meet and exceed our customers' demands and requirements. Plus, let's be honest, the warehouse has its fair share of madness too! 🤪🤪"

Kiltwalk, its an absolute pleasure to support such a fantastic cause.
