MGS

Back in 1971, recognising an opportunity to serve the northeast fishing community, Douglas and Helen Spence launched a road haulage company called D & H Spence. In direct competition with Charles Alexander and Partners, who were then one of the the biggest haulage companies in Scotland, their fleet of 25 vehicles transported fresh fish from Peterhead to Humberside and Tyneside on a daily basis. 1984 saw a severe downturn in the fish industry, which led the company to diversify again into the oil industry. In 1990 their son Mark joined the firm and MGS Transport was established.
