will receive a substantial boost for businesses and consumers as it prepares for its first direct container shipping link with China next month.
David Milne, KC Group Shipping managing director, described the"opportunities and benefits" of the scheme as"endless".“This trade link could not have come at a better time for Scottish businesses.“I’m constantly being told about the frustrations of delays at European ports, which hamper business operations and relationships for many.“These frustrations will significantly reduce as a result of the China Xpress service.
Mr Milne, who started at the business in 1993 as a 15-year-old on a two-week work experience placement, added: “Everyone suffers from increased costs, from the importers and exporters, through to the end consumer. "I am encouraged that Scotland's industries now have a solution to ensure commerce, products and trade in and out of Scotland, have an effective and competitive way forward.
